So what did you<\/em> do last night?
\n

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI got up close and personal with my Shetland Shawl, the TV remote and my “Knitting Answer Book”<\/a>, which had the clearest instructions I could find in my extensive Knitting book library for garter stitch grafting. Actually, this is a pretty nifty little book, with lots of helpful information in it. Some of it is really<\/em> basic stuff, but I often find answers I’m looking for in there.
\nAnyway, back to the point. The grafting wasn’t as painful as I’d feared, but it came pretty close. I didn’t have any major stuff ups, and several hours later, I had this.

\nIt’s done! It’s grafted!! (you can also see the dye lot difference in that picture. The centre is one dye lot, the borders are another.)
\nI am ridiculously proud of myself. Here’s how it looks in detail.

\nSorry it’s a bit blurry. Here it is in up close type detail.

\nNot bad, huh?
\nNow I just need to knit and graft two more borders. Yay. Or something.
\nI only ever have one lace piece going at a time, and this has been my lace project since mid-April. Last night, while spending interminable hours grafting, I made an executive decision.
\nNow that the second border is done, I’m going to take a tiny break from this shawl. Just a little one. I had a dig through the stash and came up with this.

\n2 balls of Kidsilk Haze in Liquer, and Evelyn Clark’s Cocoon Lace<\/a> scarf.
\nYum!
\nSo a little lace scarf interlude, then back to the Shetland Shawl. For my sanity, you understand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
