There are essentially two more rows to do. Each of the fans section is done as a unit and you need to pick up 50 stitches to start a new one. I've become a pro at picking up stitches. One thing I really like is when you make a mistake, sometimes it is easier to just rip out the fan and start again. (Don't ask me how I know this.)
A bit of a closeup to give an idea what the lace will look like once blocked.
When I was in Seattle, in addition to the couple of quilt stores, I found a yarn store called Churchmouse Yarns & Teas on Bainbridge Island. Being so proud of myself with the progress I am making on the shawl, I fell in love with this pattern to make a bowl - look carefully in the bottom of pattern photo. I bought one skein which should be enough to make a middle size bowl. It was only once I was paying and then really reading the pattern, I realized this was Crochet!!, not knitting. It is a very simple stitch so I know I am capable but I like knitting so much better. I decided to buy it anyway. We'll see how it goes!
Happy Stitching!
That shawl is going to be gorgeous. Love the pattern but I'm a really slow and bad knitter. I, however, like to crochet :)
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is lovely and I wish I could knit better than I do... okay... I wish I could read and understand the instructions better! *wink*
ReplyDeleteCrochet... I can manage that!
