Shelda's Adventures with Lace

Pile 'o Shawl

Here's my "Elizabeth" Faroese shawl, all in a pile. I've just finished row 225, and weighed my remaining yarn this morning to discover that I've knit 6 oz. of the original 8 oz. in this ball.

I finished the seventh repeat (at row 224), put the shawl on a string and tried it on, and decided that I want to do another half-repeat. So 16 more rows of lace (240 lace rows in all) and six rows of seed stitch for a border. 225/246, or 91% complete. Down a bit from where I thought I was, but still getting towards finished!

My goal now is to have the knitting finished by the end of the holiday weekend, and block it on the morning of September 2nd before work. I like to do that because I generally block on my bed, and that way it has the day to dry. It's good to have a goal!
