Swallowtail Update

I'm progressing along through the "budding lace" chart. I'm almost finished with it and have finally managed to "get it", so now I can get a rhythm going as I knit.



It's intriguing to me how the light changes in the Fall. I was auditioning different spots on my porch to photograph the progress here, and kind of playing around with where I'd put the shawl. This was one choice, and then I thought ... hmmm, maybe the crepe myrtle would be an idea.




And, speaking of "hmmmmm" - up flew Inspector #5 to make sure I'd done Chart B correctly. I bribed him with sugar water to give me the stamp of his approval, on account of, I don't like ripping back. And anyway, I took out the lifeline last night, so it's all or nothing right now. (I'll put it back in after I finish this repeat.)

He was good with that.

Those colours on that shawl are beautiful, a big round of applause for you!

I was reading about your edging dilemmas and I completely concur. My edgings always seem more like fudgings to me. And they try and kill me with the time they take to knit.
