I finally finished blocking my Goddess Knits Anniversary Mystery Shawl Monday, and managed to get photos taken. It’s done. I used three full skeins of Malabrigo laceweight for a total of 1410 yards for this project. It’s a nice shawl, and I learned to add beads on it, so that was fun. They are clear glass beads, so you won’t see them in the photos. In fact, I might not be able to post the actual photos for a few more days, so my official FO post will arrive then. The last beads and stitches were placed as I watched rehearsal for the Bread and Puppet Circus–that was a kind of vacation, but I didn’t have the camera with me.
I’ve decided to put the Mystery Shawl #9 on hold, at about 700 yards, as I finish up a pair of socks for the Ravelympics, catch up on the BadCatDesigns summer sampler, and work on the cardigan to go with the skirt, which I finished today. It’s blocking right now. I’m thinking three finished objects this week–surprising myself again.
My high speed internet provider is not providing high speed internet these days, so I can’t upload photos to Flickr. My husband can’t even e-mail them to me, the connection is so slow. It is very frustrating, but I hope it will be fixed before this season of lace is over.
