Yeeeeeee-haaa!! Only 5 - five - V - rows of intarsia to go!
Then I do a few rows of garter st.
Then I pick up stitches along the edges and do a few rows of garter st. on each side.
Then I block.
Then I fringe!

Then it's done!!!!

The blocking part does worry me a little - I don't have a large carpeted expanse any more (when I lived in the apartment, I had icky ugly brown berber carpet, but at least I could pin things to it to block them). I don't like the idea of using my bed like some people do, as I will probably be moistening the piece at about 8 pm and I like to go to bed no later than 10:30.

There is an area rug in the "guest room" that might be large enough.

And I've decided to start on the Spanish shawl next. The color is Paris (far right)

Yeah, it's bright. Sometimes you need bright, you know?

This is what the shawl looks like:


I've decided that rectangular shawls work better for me than triangular ones. The two triangular ones I have always leave part of my arms bare and cold.

I think part of the reason I've not been feeling so hot lately is that I have forgotten some important things I needed to do and that always makes me feel bad. So I'm going back to letting my life be ruled by written lists. To me, this is a sign I have too much going on, but what can you do?
