Heaven Is a Place on Earth




Here's a little preview of the edging. The shawl is done (finally)! I'm going to do a wet block when I come home from work tomorrow and take some proper photos. It does feel good to cast off that last stitch and know that there's only a (very) few ends to weave in. (Btw, there's a very slight scallop on the edging, which you can't really see... at least not until I've blocked it)

Now, off to spend some time with Phil.

The shawl looks lovely - I can't wait to see the whole item. I am still working away on my much smaller scarf version. I'm about half way now and going to be very late for the exchange! Ah well!

It is v. beautiful Miss Polly, v.v. beautiful....and now that I am in the midst of some lace knitting of my own, I appreciate it even more.

Can you send it to me?

Polly! So glad to hear you are a bit behind on your Extremities project, as it gives me a few days of respectable cover. You see, I was so proud of my project that I took it to Downtown Yarns, where I had found the yarn and pattern, to show it off. Then I left the store without it. They called and told me to come get it, which to my ear sounded a lot like "buy more yarn!". Still a few rows left, and a little bit of 'packaging' (my favorite part of any exchange process--accessorizing!), and off it will go.

Love your hemp lace. I recently received a hank from House of Hemp and was thinking, less ambitiously of course, of making a lacy scarf with it. xox Kay

The hemp yarn looks very pretty! I'm a bit iffy about my own hemp project at the moment, probably just need to work a few more inches on it...

That is a very beautiful shawl, did you tell us what the pattern was and I just can't find it?
Can't wait to see what you decide to knit with the Phil!
