No pictures either.
Because I forgot my camera back in Nashville, which is all well and good when I’m actually in Tennessee. Since I’m in Washington at the moment, it’s all a bit difficult.
But the real problem: I have a sinking feeling that my Shetland Tea Shawl is going to be too small. There is just no way that my tight-knitting ways in combination with lace-weight yarn and US4/3.5mm needles aren’t going to spell disaster of a tiny variety. You know when you avoid working on a project because it’s somehow not right? Yeah, that’s what’s going on here. I spent all of last week knitting my way through this stripey wonder, all the while dreading taking a closer look at the tea shawl.
It’s time to face facts. I’m going to have to start over on larger needles … I just hope the malabrigo lace can recover.

Yea, I know that feeling. I hope it’s not so far along that it will kill the motivation to start over.
Oh, that’s too bad! It’s such a beautiful shawl!
I hate that feeling. I hope the yarn recovers too.
This sounds like a great time of year to be back in the Pacific NW! I’m jealous…
BTW, I love the combination of colors on your stripy Ishbel. I never would have thought to do a stripy version!
Bummer about the Shetland Tea Shawl. Any chance it will block a lot bigger? Or can you add more yarn and embiggen it? I HATE ripping and reknitting Malabrigo lace b/c it’s so fragile.
