Still here, slogging along!
The Feather and Fan shawl is growing at a very, very slow pace, but it’s growing. I am about to start the final increase row, which will put me at 1320 stitches per round.
No wonder it takes me all night to do a round!
I gave in to distraction though, and did the second clue of the Mystery Shawl 2.
It’s a miserable, cloudy day today, so the pic isn’t the best, but it’s clue 2 all done. I haven’t touched the gloves, I really am trying to finishe the feather and fan.
The postman came, and he brought good things 🙂
My friend Jill sent me magazines and the new Knitting Pattern A Day calendar. Thank you, Jill!
And a new friend, Joan sent me a new circ when she heard I was having difficulties with my shawl. Thanks, Joan! 🙂
Now I can’t stay here blogging, I have knitting to do!
Hi, how does the 2006 Calendar rate against the 2005 version? Would you say “buy it”?
Thanks for any input!
Emy–I think the 2006 callendar is slightly better than the 2005.
Donna–Congrats on finishing clue #2! I tried, all day Friday, and finallyripped the whole thing out in frustration. I’ve gotten some advice, so I should be ok now. I hope. But I’m still working on Kiri, so….I’ll find out when I get the darned thing done! Lol!
Good for you for sticking with the F&F shawl (with only a minor distraction). You’ve put too much work into it to lay it aside.
Wow you have been busy – I just can’t believe that shawl!! It’s such a wonderful thing. I do hope you let me touch it one day. Thanks for your great comment about a new tiger cub. I love it! 🙂 Stripey
Donna, Thanks heaps for your answer to my felting woes! I will try it out this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
