Mother's Day is Coming!
Eek! Somehow it just occurred to me that it's nearly Mother's day (it's been a very very busy month)!
I started thinking about what sort of present I could still pull off in a week. Including a few days for shipping, that makes the list of knitted items pretty short . Um... okay.
But you know what? I could at least START on the shawl that I've been promising my mother for a couple of years now. Come to think of it, that shawl was one of the reasons I started this blog in the first place.
By next Sunday I could get re-oriented to the project, find all my notes and graphs, wind my yarn into a ball, and cast on, wouldn't ya think? ;) Oh, and send my mother a nice card and point her to my blog? She really would love to have this shawl, and I really would love to knit it for her! I can do this!
As a reminder, here's my swatch for this shawl:
