On the one hand, they usually turn out awesome.
On the other hand, when my method of doing chores is 'knit one row, do a chore', it means that I get a lot less done around the house!
Such has been the case with my Ethereal Shawl, but it is still coming along. I'm onto the last chart of the pattern; and while each row takes about half-an-hour, I can see that the result is going to be stunning.
The current picture doesn't do it justice at all.
For one thing, this picture is old and I've come a lot further. For another, the lace is all scrunched up and won't show the pattern until it's blocked.
I'm actually really excited about the blocking process. I have my blocking mats, and I bought some rust-proof t-pins from EatSleepKnit a while ago, so I should be good for blocking my first lace-weight shawl. I actually don't want it to grow a lot, so I'm probably not going to stretch it out a lot.
It'll be an adventure!
