Some of you might remember that I was attempting to finish the Evenstar shawl in time for my graduation ball yesterday. Well… I did it. I finished at 5 last night, and Mum blocked it for me in the half hour before I left while I was getting ready. I am absolutely exhausted, but really pleased. It is beautiful. The whole family helped out – Dad and my brother worked out the maths to make a perfect circle to block around, and Mum did the actual blocking (and dried it with a hairdryer).
I got so many compliments for this (including the incredibly ego-boosting ‘OMG, you’re a genius’). I am so proud of this, and regard it as a true testement to family love (who else would wash and math out a shawl this size?) But I will never ever try it again. I don’t do well with deadlines, and I am currently running on only 9 hours of sleep over the last two days. So I am going to go take a nap, and in the meantime you can enjoy many, many pictures of my knitterly triumph.

Thanks everyone! It’s the biggest lace I’ve ever done so I was sort of glad to finish
Congratulations! I’m glad you got it done in time. Thanks for sharing your pictures too. While this is a beautiful pattern, the contrast in your photos really shows it off to its best.
