Things that keep me humble



I am so absolutely determined to get good at lace. I have now embarqued on a challenging lace shawl project. I am doing a pi shawl as per Elizabeth Zimmermann intructions. I was just going to make it plain in between increases but as my friend said..."it's not that hard you know" so I took that as a challenge and here goes. I hope to finish it this year so that when my eldest daughter Emily decides to start a family she will have a shawl for the baby and it can stay in the family as an heirloom.


I am knitting it in a natural thinner than 2 ply wool. Am not really into natural colours but I might be able to dye it later.


I will have to keep blogging aboot it so that people don't think I've forgotten about it.
