Sorry, no pictures but I want to announce my big knitting news. The lavender Oregon shawl is off the needles. The border has been grafted together. The ends are woven in. It is waiting to be blocked. It is nice to have it done.
Figure, I need an hour to block it. It might take longer. It needs to soak for a half hour in lukewarm water not hot because the yarn is part silk. I have been informed, Never, Ever put silk in hot water. It takes the shine off and mess up the plant proteins. After soaking, I get to spend time on my hands and knees pinning it to the carpet in the craft room. Crawling around always takes longer than I expect.
I plan to put a picture up after blocking.
Other than that, the Idella shawl is getting closer to done.
