thank you so much for your Kimono Shawl compliments! The pattern was fairly easy and it would make a good intro to lace project. The only drawback is the length involved and how tedious that becomes …… which many would say is a factor in any lace project.

I have started another project which I have neither mentioned here on ye olde blogge nor have I photographed. Along with fellow knitters Ricki and Peggy, I am knitting a sampler using The Sweater Workshop by Jacqueline Fee. To be honest, I didn’t anticipate getting all that much from this book — boy was I ever wrong! I would highly recommend to every knitter that they knit up one of these samplers. There is always something to learn it seems!

I have six more rows to finish Icarus. There are now 483 stitches on the needles.

So close I can almost feel it wrapped around my shoulders ….. so far that it may never get done. It shimmers like a mirage on my horizon.
