I, unfortuantely, did not get anywhere near where I wanted to be the other night because I had to tink out a couple of rows. I think when I get to the repeat section I’ll put in a lifeline… it would be so much easier to be able to rip back to a place I knew was right rather than trying to figure out where one mistake might be and slowly, stitch by stitch, work back to it…. especially as the shawl grows in size.

I need to clean all my knitting stuff off the spare bed sometime this afternoon. My sister is flying out to Florida to see her fiancee and needs to be at the airport at 5:30 Wednesday morning, so she’ll be staying with us Tuesday night. Haven’t had to use the guest bed in some time, and it had thus become a wonderful place to stack all sorts of spinning and knitting related items. Now I need to find homes for all of them… fun fun.

I think I will try to work on the shawl some more after I clean off the bed.

I thought I was getting off to a good start casting on my sister’s wedding shawl a week and a half ago. I have even gotten into the lace pattern, but I haven’t yet reached the repeat section. I figure I ‘ve got about 2 and a half months to finish it and still have time to block it… I just need to sit down and do it. If it weren’t white I’d feel more comfortable taking it places, but I’m terrified of getting it dirty.

I will try to at least get to the repeat section tonight, and then, the shawl will go with me to the LYS tomorrow for several hours of knitting.

I should take a picture of it before I start working on it tonight so that I can really see the progress as I go.
