Shawl is DONE!!

I totally win! I do, I do, I do. This shawl was 1.5 months in the making and I'm so proud of it. My very first lace project. Whoo hoo!!


It's currently up in my sons' playroom being blocked. They are, of course, banned from that room until the shawl is dry and I've picked everything up. Blocking took around 3 hours and I can't even begin to tell you how many pins I have in it. A lot, that's for sure. I am using those colored puzzle mats that you can buy for kids. Walmart had them for $5 for a set, so I bought two of them. I noticed a lot of people on Ravelry use them, so figured they would work for me. :-)

I'm in the process of deciding my next project. Unfortunately, I'm in a quandary. Turns out I don't have size 7 circulars and I seem to need those for every single shawl that's on my list. How the heck did that happen? I don't get it. I do have two unfinished projects I can be working on. They're just a tad bit anti-climatic after the lace shawl. lol Might as well though. I'm set up to do a knit along starting May 7th. I guess I shouldn't let myself get too bogged down with another major project before that starts. I'll get it figured out.
