I found my camera

It was in the first place I looked - on the dresser in my bedroom. I just couldn't see it until I cleared some other things away.

So, here's the promised post-blocking picture of my shawl:


And here's a closer look:

My lace shawl, part 2

I finished my lace shawl today, or, at least, I finished the knitting.

I had the bright idea of using my new kitchen scale to weigh my yarn after each of the last couple rows, which meant that I realized I needed to skip one of the rows in the scalloped edging, or else I'd run out of yarn.

I now have 0.2 grams left of the yarn. (A row takes about 1.5 g.)

I also now have a disgusting mess of unblocked yarn. Unfortunately, being a responsible adult who knows where my stuff is, I've misplaced my camera. So, photos are on hold for now.

Let's hope blocking works its magic.

My lace shawl

Today, as I've done every day since I got my cast off last Friday, I sat down to knit a row on my lace shawl:



I carefully wrote down the instructions for the next row in my notebook, and started knitting.

I ended up a few stitches short at the end. I'm starting the edging, so I'd removed all the stitch markers as they would have needed to be moved at the end.

Then I looked at the chart, and realized that I had been knitting the wrong row. Not even the whole wrong row - I copied down the right stitches for the edges, just not the repeating bit in the middle.



This comes not one week after I started at the top of the chart instead of at the bottom of the chart and had to rip back to my last lifeline.


I've shoved it in the project bag for now. I'll tink the last row when I'm feeling up to it, probably on Saturday.
