It is just time to finish this one. I understand if you’ve forgotten the details, since it’s been on the needles since March of 2018. I’m down to one repeat of the second to last chart, and one repeat of the last chart, then I’m done. Of course that amounts to 72 rows, with increasing number of stitches each row, and at the end there are 693 stitches to bind off.
These last charts include a few rows with cables. Though I do know how to knit cables without a cable needle, I’m not a cocky enough knitter to attempt that trick in lace weight silk/merino. So those rows are a bit fidgety.
It does make some very pretty little cables, though.
The pattern name is Longest Night, I’ve been calling it Winter Solstice, and I want it done before the solstice gets here. I think that is doable if I exercise a bit of project monogamy.*
*Remind me of that if you see me casting on any new lace projects before you see this one done.
What a totally gorgeous color and pattern! Wow!
That is gorgeous. I love the color and the lace. I do have some laceweight in blue and could be tempted but the pattern says lace on both sides and the last time I did one of those my DH said he never heard so much cussing. I think I invented a bunch of new words. Can’t wait to see yours all done!
It will be stunning when it’s finished!
Project monogamy? Really – how about rewarding yourself with 10 minutes on another project after the completion of 5 rows? Just so your hands don’t cramp.
The shawl is going to be beautiful, but that is a lot of concentration…
Pretty, Pretty.
Very pretty!
