I thought it was going to take forever by the end there. But that is the way of lace shawls, eh? Seems like quick going at the beginning, lace repeats finished by the hour, but as you near the finish line, they take for-ev-er.
I did one fewer lace repeat than called for (the shawl looked oddly long and thin to me in Interweave, and this kept it big--no shawlette here--without being overly right-triangle-ish). As such, I had plenty of yarn leftover--a skein and a half, to be precise. I'm not sure what I'll do with it exactly....but it's lovely yarn, even if I had to be practically forced into buying it (purple is not normally for me).
I'm super proud of it--mostly mistake free! I mean, I know there were mistakes, but I haven't gone a-hunting for them, and they don't show if you're not looking for them, which is all one can ask for, right?

That is *fantabulous*. I've never tried shawls, but geeze, now I really want to.
(Word verification is "letstab". I can only assume that has something to do with blocking. *g*)
Heh. That's hilarious.
Oh, that's beautiful! My pregnant brain can't cope with lace at the moment, which is really frustrating. So many shawls to knit! :-)
