Shawls make boring blogging. There, I said it. And it makes it feel like I’m getting nowhere fast!
The Feather and Fan shawl is growing. It is! I swear!

I’m up to row 114. Out of 190. Sounds good, doesn’t it? However, I have only just started the second skein of Alpaca Cloud. Which means I’m only about a fifth of the way through. Recommended yardage is around 2200 yards, I have 1700, so mine will be smaller anyway. But to have come so far, and to realise that I haven’t really come far at all is kinda disappointing.
The shawl is lovely, though 🙂
Here is the centre bit.

Here is the Feather and Fan detail.

So, I’m slightly more than a quarter of the way there. I can’t promise that I won’t get sick of it long before the end, though!
Twinkie is the essence of a lazy bunny. This is how a lazy bunny spends the morning. You find a nice spot in the dirt, then you flop down so that your head in the middle of a nice green patch of grass, and you don’t have to go anywhere when you want a nibble.

That’s the life!

  1. I knot the feeling–I’m working on the Super Spiral in the same book….and it feels like I’m accomplishing absolutely nothing! Sigh. Well, at the moment, I’m not….it’s on hold for a mystery shawl…. 😉

  2. Your shawl looks beautiful! Those row numbers can be deceiving … you’ll be finished knitting it and have it blocked off before you know it. 🙂
    Twinkie is as cute as ever.
    I love the pictures of Em dancing are great … the classic people’s heads in the way pictures are too funny. Congrats to her for getting Honours in all of her dance exams! That’s great!! 🙂

  3. It’s beautiful! And it’s not boring blogging…you keep it right up, because I have ABSOLUTELY NO interest in doing it myself (hee), so it’s sort of like watching Home & Garden TV or something….watch you, enjoy watching you do something that will probably never happen in MY life! 😉

  4. Oh Donna, it’s not boring at all…..it is breath taking!!
    Damn, that Twinkie is just too cute for words! Smart bunny she is…hehe

  5. Hay! I do that too. I spread some timothy hay near my head and lay down just like Twinkie is in that pic. Chillin’ with a big strand of hay hanging out the side of my mouth.
    Um… is lazy the same as resourceful?

  6. I am so jealous! I bought the yarn for that pattern ages ago, and I’m too nervous to start the circulat beginning. Can’t wait to see YOURS finished….
