And the beat goes on, and on and on.
I am on the very last row of shawl number 2. Next I have to crochet about 9,000 edge stitches and block this baby. It has been a fun knit, and though it is close, I don't think I am going to run out of yarn. The brides shawl yarn is spun, skeined and washed. It is really lovely, and I think I will knit that shawl next, partly to get it over with, and partly because I need a challenge in my life right now.
The real problem with knitting 5 of one thing is that I miss the variety of knitting a bunch of small projects; socks, hats, mittens. I started 3 little things in my Nancy Bush Estonian knitting classes, but I haven't allowed myself to finish any of those items. When I see the finished projects of my classmates on Ravelry I get really jealous. But I suppose some of them would like to be knitting wedding shawls. This is just a quick post to let some of you know I am still alive. Pictures of Shawl 2 tomorrow!
