Spring Shawl border finale
Finals--ack. There have been days when I have not even touched the knitting. Those are very sad days. I'll be done by Friday, though. Hoorayhoorayhooray! Then sweet weekend freedom until September....
Despite the all the brain-frying, I managed to make it to the end of the Spring Shawl border. The trickiest part came at the end with the tree motifs with lace hole (or pachinko ball, as Fleegle might say) bands--tricky because some of the holes are formed by single yarnovers and some by double yarnovers, requiring a bit of concentration.
So now we edge. And probably cast on for something new as well....

The pachinko balls are round and stylish, the color perfect, the knitting more than perfect. What's up next?

Your lace knitting is so beautiful! Is there anything special that you do, to achieve such technical perfection? It's just a delight to look at every single one of your blog posts.

Dear missalicefaye,
Your border is breathtaking! You really have such wonderful knitting in this weight yarn I have to applaude your beautiful mastery!It really is swoon worthy! Sigh! What does it mean that you, me, fleegle are all doing edging? Is it like when women living together all start having their periods together? I'm just wondering.

the border looks stunning, I'm looking forward to seeing the edging and the FO... You must have an extreme amount of patience and dexterity your knitting is always so even and precise and I do like the guage you achieve with you fine yarns.... so the big question is "What's next?"
