I'm now on the final chart of the wide border (hurrah!) but still have a long way to go before I can call the shawl done. Once the wide border is finished, I've got the triangle body to complete and then finally, another round of tedious edging.
I'm actually really enjoying knitting on the Princess at the moment but I went into a bit of a panic a few days ago as I considered the coming weeks (and weeks) of 'antique silver' (GREY) knitting I had ahead of me.
As most knitters would, I turned to Ravelry when the panic hit and catching up on some of the projects of a local knitting group I saw the PERFECT DVD watching colourful project the Lily Crochet Blanket. Before I knew it I had downloaded the pattern and was ordering mini skeins of yarn from the Knitting Goddess to get started.
(The Natural Dye Studio who have made the pattern available also has mini skeins perfect for this project - but they were sadly out of stock when my 'need it now' mood struck!)
The yarn dropped through the letterbox a few minutes ago and I'm itching to get the colour flowing, but I need to tidy up the glue and glitter and get ready for gorgeous god daughter Genevieve's weekly pizza and gossip session.
Maybe tomorrow.....
