Its been a few days since I last blogged, the reason being the shawl that you see in the pic. I cast on for this on Feb 1 and it has taken me two weeks to finish this project. Its the first circular shawl I have ever done, what has put me off doing circular shawls is the number of stitches you use to cast on - six little stitches joined in a circle -impossible for my fingers but a wise freind Zephyrama gave me an alternative cast on using crochet which worked a treat after that it was plain sailing. The longest part of the shawl was working the border that took me a couple of days to do but it was worth the effort. I am happy with the way it turned out.Friday, February 15, 2008

OMG, sweets! This is gorgeous!! So glad the crochet cast on was the ticket for ya. :D Happy to see you!
Wow Ali, that is wonderful. I love the colours. How on earth did you do all that in two weeks? Congratulations!
nice!!
That's beautiful. If you're going to knit lace you've got to let go of the fear of a lot of stitches on the needle.
They take a long time. They have a lot of stitches. But they're worth it. And they're relatively cheap too.
