Little Leaves

I'm zipping along on my Little Leaves AKA Knit Something of the Month for August project. I realize that it doesn't look like it's zipping along, but you start on the longer, outer edge on this project and work towards the shorter, inner edge, so I am actually zipping along. I've got less than 10 rows before I start the short rows for the top part of the shawl. I thought about adding more repeats of the lace (I've got plenty of yarn), but the more I looked at projects knit by the pattern compared to projects with extra repeats (don't you just love Ravelry), the more I liked the original proportions. The bead rows really slow me down (I'm using clear beads with silver lining - they look like water droplets), but I've only got one more. I'm still hoping to get this finished by this weekend, so you'll probably be seeing more of it this week. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go get Logan, he's licking an electrical outlet.
