FO: Flower Basket Shawl, by Evelyn Clark from Interweave Knits Fall 2004
Yarn: Aracunia Nature Wool
Needles: US 9
Notes: The lace pattern was really fun. Most of the mistakes that I made came from forgetting to pass the slipped stitch in the double decrease. Checking at the end of each row saved my a lot of frustration once I figured out my lace knitting weakness.
Lesson learned: In the future I will pin my project out every so often just to check for undetected errors. I found one in my shawl while blocking it. I've fixed it, but I'd rather not have any other nastly little suprises like that again.
My big photos of the shawl didn't turn out so I'll have to post one a little later. Maybe a shawl action shot.

April - I only need to figure out how to capture the essence of shawl in action. ;-)
(and I love the kittie-cat photo too)
