We’re ba-a-a-a-ack. I’ll do a longer post soon (and so will my sister if her internet ever starts working again) about our trip and our many yarn finds and adventures. In the meantime, I’ll just show you my progress on the Feather and Fan shawl from A Gathering of Lace. Here is a photograph taken as I transfer it to a larger needle. It will, of course, look much better once it’s blocked but you can see the floral pattern in the center. At this point, I have about 480 stitches on the needles. When I’m at the point of casting off, I’ll have over 1,300. So, although it’s a very easy pattern from a knitting point of view, it is slow. It’s a project I’ll pick up and put down depending upon my mood.
