FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's finished!! The Wool Peddler Shawl from Folk Shawls. Started January 10th, completed January 29th. Knit from 8½ skeins of Wool of the Andes (from KnitPicks) in Iron Ore on size 10½ needles. Unblocked it's 32" from the upper edge to the tip. I'm not sure that I'm going to block it. I'm only 5'4" and it's pretty big without stretching it any more. Here are some close-ups of the lace (can you tell that I'm proud??) This also fits into the KnitRed KAL and the Just For Me KAL, as well as the Folk Shawl KAL, so it's a multi-purpose project {g}..
Now it's time to pick my next project. I finished the cream garter stitch shawl I was making for the K4 project and cast on for a kelly green one, but that's my mindless knitting. I have yarn (WOTA in Wheat) for the Highland Triangle Shawl which is the next group project in the Folk Shawl KAL, yarn and the pattern for the Adamas shawl from KnitPicks, and yarn for two vests for Mom that will have lace panels up the front. I need to rework that pattern so I'm using a smaller needle and while I've swatched on 10½s & 11s, I haven't pulled out the calculator yet to do some serious figuring. I have a feeling that the green shawl will progress while I'm trying to figure this all out and make up my mind.
