On January 5th, I wound 900 metres of lace weight yarn (Handmaiden Lace Silk) and cast on the 10 in 2010 shawl by Janine Le Cras:
By February 8th, I had gotten this far:
Then, it was put aside as I worked on birthday gift after birthday gift, finished some socks, and finally got started on the prayer shawl I had signed up to make. I think the fact that it took me close to an hour just to knit two rows was a bit daunting for me. Then, about a month ago, I picked it up again. After knitting 2 shawls for my sisters-in-law, 2 pairs of socks, and 4 scarves for the men in the family, I was getting faster. Now the shawl looks like this:
I've made it through the main body chart, and the transition chart, and am on the edging chart. I am 44 rows from finishing this.

You go girl! I cannot knit for the life of me. It just feels so awkward and I run out of patience!
Keep going, it will be lovely when finished! But what an impressive list of FOs!!
Sometimes you just have to put it aside until a better time ... looks like you'll be done in time to wear it in the Autumn!
It's going to be such a satisfying finish! And then blocking and TaDa! Can't wait!
Fantastic, keep up the pace and we will soon see it on FO Friday!
What an incredibly beautiful piece! I have no patience or ability in this area. I really envy you!
