Well, I have avoided blogging about Wool Peddler's Shawl (see previous post) because I have ripped it out so many times. So many times, in fact, that the yarn was fraying in one spot. I don't know why I can't get the lace to work out for me but I can't lose any more sleep over it and I have lost all my patience in trying to figure it out. So I have decided to ruffle the edges instead of working the lace edging. And even though everyone on Ravely rates this as an easy pattern, I will have to leave it for another time.
So here is where I am at with the shawl. I used the red Cascade 220 for the main section and I am knitting the ruffle with the left over Kathmandu DK, Queensland Collection that I used to make my first Clapotis. It seems the red flecks in this yarn are working well with the main color.
Everyone keeps reminding me that I still have tofinish my shawl from Wendy Knits and they are right. I think the summer should be all about completing all those unfinished projects. Especially, since it would be nice to show it off at Stitches East in October.
