The past two days have been dedicated to knitting. With my successfully completion of the Mosey Leg warmers for my cousin, I thought I should pick up projects that have been put by the wayside for some time now. One of those projects is my lacy shawl that I started in September of 2007. I whipped out the body on that bad boy in a month. So, what's the hold up you ask? The stupid knit on border! That's the thorn in my side of the whole project. First off trying to find someone to show me how to do it was a challenge. I finally tracked down a master knitter who helped me get going. That was last year. Now, I have knit one full side of this blasted thing and come to a new challenge. Knitting the corner. Well, I took a chance, followed the book and plowed ahead. It was a success:
Riding high on the wave of completion, I am working on this one again today! I feel great about the corner and the fact that I am working on finishing a second side of the border. Side three is long like side one was, but if I do a little at a time I might have it done for the 2019 Christmas Ball.... ha ha ha.
