So last night I sat down and started to knit the shawl with it. When I got halfway or so around, I spread it out on the bed to get an idea of how it was looking.<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ffshawlsortofspreadout.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/ffshawlsortofspreadout.jpg\" width=\"398\" height=\"299\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nI&#8217;m very much looking forward to getting it off the needles! But it will take longer than I&#8217;d like, because it took an hour to do just one round last night.

And ignore the filthy windows, please! We&#8217;re in a drought over here, and under strict water restrictions, so I haven&#8217;t been washing the car. That&#8217;s my excuse, and I&#8217;m sticking to it like glue!<br \/>\nSo here is a better picture of the sunset.<br \/>\n<center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"sunset051005.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.randomknits.net\/archives\/sunset051005.jpg\" width=\"398\" height=\"299\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nI started something else, too.
