493

That’s how many stitches I have on the needles for this shawl right now. I have about 100 rows left. Every other row increases this by 4 more stitches. The ending stitch count is 693 stitches to bind off.

Here’s the stitch pattern for the current chart.

This is going to be gorgeous once it is done, and don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying every stitch of it, but OMG this is taking forever.

And yes, I’m almost out of the first hank of yarn, I do have the second hank wound and at the ready.

  1. Fortunately, between the color and the pattern, it looks like it will be worth all of your effort once it is finished. That stitch pattern is so lovely.

  2. It is really pretty lace. We all know that feeling of never ending. I try to remind myself I’d be knitting any way though.
