Major progress
I've been diligently working on Daughter-Type's shawl the last week or so. Especially since I'm getting a huge back log of what I really want to work on next, which is never a good thing.
I love this pattern. It starts with just one cast on stitch at the bottom right corner and builds from there. And look! Even still on the needles and unblocked, the lace pattern is there!
Now for the really cool part of this pattern. I hate binding off, especially on a shawl where it just makes the bottom edge either too tight or lettuce edged. But look at this! A knitted bind off which I can see me adapting and using in lots of other projects.
This has been a very fun and quick project. Even better, it's one of the free patterns from KnitPicks and I have used less than two skeins of lace weight yarn. Will update when I get the bindoff done and have blocked it.
