Finished the first part of the shawl last night. I blocked it this morning to get some idea of how it might look finished, and I have to say, it could have been a bit narrower. I think I will not block it as severely in the finished stole, and it should be all right. The airy laciness of this stitch would lend itself well to a lot of projects, I think. Longer and with a nice edging, it would make the perfect lace scarf. Knit in cotton, it would make a nice sheer for a kitchen window. In other news, I got all the math figured out, and so now I just need to finish up spinning the yarn for the borders and decide whether or not to put an edging on it. I am leaning towards a small edging, but I don't think it will be absolutely necessary. Well, that's all for today. Sean and I are going out tonight while the IL's keep the kids. He's been at work all day, so it should be interesting.
She seeketh wool and flax and worketh willingly with her hands. --Proverbs 31:13

Your shawl is so delicate! It looks like a light cobweb that might float away with the slightest breeze. It's beautiful.
Sorry I didn't say thanks before, Lou. I missed this somehow. I think it looks good too. I think I will block it less severely in the finished shawl, though.
