Shetland Triangle in Beach Fog Dream In Color Smooshy
She's done - this darn shawl is done. I'm so glad. I modified it slightly, adding two lace repeats to account for the fingering weight yarn - I think that was the end for me. I am the kind of person that if I have a day scheduled off of work for any reason and my plans fall through - I cannot go into work - can't. I am convinced that I wasn't going - period. The same apparently rings true for lace repeats - when I had done the number the pattern called for, I felt I should be done. I found myself resenting the extra two repeats - can you imagine? I cursed those repeats - but at last I cast off and blocked her today. I think she is pretty - I have been toiling away this week on those stinking extra repeats so I could pack it up for my trip - I plan to wear her with my dress for a wedding this weekend. I will be glad to be wrapped up in my own little knit. I will have a drink with her (heck, I may have three), we'll dance, we'll walk in the sand. We'll make up, I'm sure of it.
here she is with the dress, a perfect marriage...pun intended, wa, wa, wa
I have also been bestowed with some very sweet blog treats lately.

Simply Gorgeous! I hope the wedding was a blast!
A little late to the party, commenting on this post, but congrats on a beautiful shawl!
I totally understand the churlishness you felt over those extra repeats, in life, and in knitting. :-)
The shawl is lovely! I hope you appreciate those two extra repeats now that they're finished. I'm sure it makes for a nicer size :)
Wow, that autumn Sundara is divine!
Gorgeous shawl! Perfect with that dress! How was the wedding? I enjoyed reading of your trip to Disney too. I've been a little behind on the blog reading but am catching up now. :)
