Well, knitters, it has taken me quite a while to get to this point. Only two more sections to go. From that point, who knows? I did notice that when I kept switching from bamboo needles to Knitpick's circular needles there was definately a difference. So now I'm staying with the bamboo straights at the moment. However, I'd really like to see this shawl in Knitpick's alpaca, so I'll need to purchase some more wool. I need to make three more of these by Christmas! I should have all the bugs worked out by then, don't 'cha think? I'm not that good at this, but I'm trying.....Explore http://www.knitpicks.com/ for some wonderful wool and bargains.

I also recently purchased "Artic Lace," by Donna Druchunas from http://www.schoolhousepress/ and found a wonderful way the Alaskan knitters block their shawls....using a cardboard blocking board!!! How neat is that? So down to http://www.joanns.com/ to buy one. This is so cool for blocking rectangles!! Well, I'm going to keep at this; who knows I may make my deadline! Happy knitting.
