Soon to be Free Range...

...the Flower Basket Shawl! That's right, I'm binding off now. Since you saw it last, I ended up doing two more repeats of the Basket Chart before I started the Edging Chart and I think I figured it just about perfectly. I'll have some yarn left over, even after the yarn eating lace bind off, but I don't think I could have gotten another Basket Chart repeat out of it. My big goal for the day is to get the shawl off the needles and maybe I can get it blocked today.

It feels like I have been knitting on this forever and last night I realized that I had. I started this back in October or November, but then set it aside to knit Mindy's Stole/Hanami. This poor little shawl has just been sitting patiently on the needles waiting for me to get back to it. When I finally did, it didn't cause any trouble, drop stitches, make mistakes, or any of the other huge list of things that neglected knitwear can do. Once I get this blocking, I've already got my next lace project picked out! You'll just have to wait and see what it is!
