Seasons of Lace

First, …. a wee heads up for those of you who may be dithering about joining this KAL (or know someone who has been dithering but hasn’t made it here yet): The sign ups are closing on Saturday at midnight (CST).  Sign ups for the quanityt competitons are about to close as well!   So… there’s still time to join, but not a lot of time.  C’mon  (and tell your buds), there’re lots of prizes!  So many, in fact, that I’m about to award another to celebrate the fact that they let me cross the border back into the USA yesterday.

Spending hours in the passenger seat gives you lots of time for knitting… and thanks to my wonderful DH, who drove 2/3 of the way from Damarascotta, Maine to St. John, New Brunswick — and all of the way back, I got to spend about ten hours in the passenger seat over the past week.  I took full advantage, and worked on two lace projects…

…. making quite a bit of headway on Willow…

I think that heavily beaded bit might actually look like water. It would be better if there were room for two rounds of that, but I think I’ll have to cut things short and get on with the edging if I don’t want the thing to go past my knees….

Daedelus shows it’s progress a bit more.  Perhaps  the fact that Willow has well over 500 stitches per row now has something to do with that.  Here’s the second feather section…

It looks rather sad there, all unblocked… but those feathers will be lovely when it’s done.

Here’s another shot with Daedelus blowing in the sea breeze..
