Damson - With Help

Apparently I have a new photographic assistant. See how he carefully holds Damson down for it's blog photo? I'm actually still in shock that I even got this picture, I have several pictures with his head in the way of Damson, but for this one, he pulled his head out of the frame and just held the shawl in his paws. The price of this assistance was that Damson got kissed. All of it. And a little of the yarn attached to it. Much kissy kisses. It will dry, it will be washed before blocking, and everything will be OK.

After seeing the cuteness of the paws, you probably don't care how the shawl is going, but it's moving along pretty well. I'm more than halfway through the top section of the garter stitch (and almost halfway through the entire shawl if you count by rows, and really, with the rate of increases made on this thing, counting by rows is the only way to go). I got back on this after finishing the test knit for my new pattern yesterday (it's blocking now).

Speaking of the new pattern, I'm editing the written out pattern, proof reading the directions, and cleaning the whole thing up today. Once it's done blocking I'll get photos and add those and tomorrow you can see my new pattern that Logan hinted at Monday. It's going to be perfect for Summer!
