Okay so I probably shouldn’t use all caps and shout at anyone who’s kind enough to read my ramblings but I’m just so excited!

I FINISHED THE EVENSTAR SHAWL!

Oops! Shouting again!

It was finished last weekend when I pushed through the last 28 repeats for the border (highly caffeinated tea may have been involved), clumsily kitchener the two ends together, sighed happily, and promptly went to bed. Late nights may have been involved once I was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Clinton doesn’t realize how dangerous this shot was. She’s a toothy kitten.

It’s glorious but badly needs to be blocked. It has a puckered effect in the center.

The task for this weekend (other than posting that I finished it) is to block the lovely shawl. I’ve had some not great experiences with blocking drapey shawls so this is going to be a very gentle steam.

In other news Beau ate some dental floss. It cost $2133.60 (and time in the cone of shame) to get it out.
