Yay!

This morning is good. As in, I finally figured out something that has been bothering me on a circular shawl that has been on the knitting needles for an unspecified amount of time. It has been in time out, on hiatus, and I have to say, with one round of it being 576 stitches, it is no mean feat to knit a round. It is easy, mindless knitting. I am tired of the mindlessness of it. So, I decided to look through "Literary Knits" one more time. It didn't make it into the return pile for the library, so I think it is a good thing. There is a shawl in there, done to Elizabeth Zimmermann's Pi directions....the one in the book is sport weight yarn...I am doing mine in laceweight yarn. Anyhow, the upshot of all this is, that shawl in the book has a feather and fan border. And the math is done for a 576 stitch circular shawl. I plan to put this edge on...and instead of doing one repeat, I think I will do a few of them, in hopes my circle shawl will look amazing with a really wide lace border. I am excited about the project again, which is half the battle.
Back to reality, though, for a moment. I have a lot of other things to do today, so the shawl may have to wait for a while before getting any attention. The daily grind of dishes, and grocery shopping needs to be done before I sit down for what will turn into a marathon of knitting.
