Some things are Just RIGHT! Like another knit night full of laughter. This time I got stuck in a bizarre riff on mini-sheep and Bedlington terriers (which I’ve always thought looked rather like lambs), and the possibility of using mini-sheep instead of lawnmowers… I can’t repeat it… I’m not even sure what made it all so funny, but we laughed until we cried.
The laughing slowed my knitting down a bit… but I still made progress. Here is Irtfa’a three rows into the last chart before the edging!
I think maybe I can take out the life line that I put in at the beginning of the last chart, eh? You can even almost see the beginning of the new pattern taking shape!! But, in that picture anyway, you can’t see the beads closely enough to figure out what I decided to do. I’m still hoping I made the right decision.
This is only slightly better. While it clearly reveals that I’ve opted for the larger beads, you won’t be able to tell for another two rows that I’ve decided to use a blend of the larger and smaller beads in this section. I’d go for the big ones, but I fear that I won’t have enough to make it through two repeats of the chart and the edging. I’m hoping to avoid ordering beads AGAIN for this shawl.
Of course, if I’m wrong, I’ll just take out the wee beads, and suck it up to order more big ones. Ah well, that will be a good time to order the beads for Evenstar I guess.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
You know, I think that by the time you finish this, there’ll be enough beads (and enough weight) for that shawl to possibly be considered a concealed weapon. ;P
Looks great! and laughter is a wonderful thing. I hope I don’t have to figure out the beads for Evenstar for a while yet. I don’t have any idea and hope that I’ll get one when I see where they go into it…
dither, dither, dither
