I have made it past the point where I frogged, so I really feel like I am making progress on the shawl. Everyone who sees it thinks I am being overly ambitious for my first real project, but I feel I am under control. They don’t see the mistakes that I just sort of leave there and fix in the next round.

Here it is, in all it’s purple glory. I can’t tell how this photo came out, because my monitor gets darker everyday. After the house is all settled, it’s time for a new monitor for me. Please don’t look at all the crap in the background — the office is in pre-packing mode– everything’s everywhere.
I am in the middle of the second pattern, just starting the second part of the second pattern. I hope I can finish this before we move. At the rate we are going, I don’t know which will happen first.
