Whew! This one has been on the needles for WAY too long (3 weeks?), and I’ve been SO done with it for most of that time. *SSK, M1, P2, repeat from * until you want to cram one of the needles up your nose just to end the misery. And the best part? IT’S NOT DONE YET! Seriously. It’s blocking now, and once it’s dry I get to go all the way around the outside edge with little tiny needles and some Koigu Premium Merino and add some really lacy lace to it. At this point I’m actually really excited about starting the lacy part. We’ll see how long that lasts.

I still don’t have a clue what I’m going to do with it once it is totally finished - it’s absolutely beautiful and soft and wonderful, but when was the last time any of y’all saw me in a shawl? Never? Right.

And now back to those damn shrug sleeves that have been plaguing me since Manzanita. I haven’t really made any progress on them, but I haven’t torn them out again yet, either, so I guess that’s something. Maybe now that the shawl is in the home stretch the sleeves won’t be quite so uncooperative. We shall see.
