My LYS (Local Yarn Shop), Stitches & Scones, sent out an e-mail back in February announcing a mystery knit-along lace shawl project and, of course, I joined in. What was I thinking? I have plenty of yarn and projects – not to mention work, travel, etc. etc. Yikes!
This is my first bigtime lace project and have to say, while not done, I’m learning lots! So, while not the best timing, it’s probably a good thing that I took this on. Counting and ripping out have been a big part of the process and I’m finally to the point where (knock wood) there’s been no ripping in at least 20 rows!
Right now I’m about 1/2-way done with clue 3 (of 4) with the deadline for completion being May 6. But, not being able to leave well enough alone, I’m altering the pattern just a bit which is adding 14 more rows to the whole shawl.
This is the yarn I’m using – but you’ll need to wait until it’s done for more photos!
There’s lots more going on, too. In fact, there are about ten things I’ve noted down that I’d like to chat about but that’s all for another day!
