Well, I haven’t blogged about the shawl in a while, so we can all handle an update, I think.

\nAs you can see, it doesn’t look all that different, but trust me, it’s growing.
\nI’m up to round 153, and I have over 1000 stitches on the needles. The rounds don’t go very quickly any more!
\nAnd I’m feeling a little squished on the needle.

\nAs you can see, it’s getting to be a rather tight fit. I’m using a “Pony” brand circular, and it’s 100cm long. The only longer needle I have is an Addi Turbo, and I don’t think the mix of addi turbo and alpaca lace weight is something I’m ready to face.
\nSo we’ll soldier on, squished and all.
\nThere are less than 40 rounds to go, but each one is taking upwards of 45 minutes now, so the end isn’t close yet. And I don’t think I have enough yarn, but I still have a hank and a half of the Alpaca cloud, so we’ll see how far I get. I’m thinking that if all goes well, I might enter the shawl into the Sydney Royal Easter Show next year. The only shawl category they have is “Shetland Shawl” and I don’t know what defines a Shetland Shawl. I may have to hunt down the information. *If* it comes out like I hope!
\nEm is dancing again tonight, so I’ll be working on the Cardi back. I’ll let you all know how much I get done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
