Slow Recovery

Still recovering from pneumonia so not much knitting or spinning.  I have been trying really hard to finish some of my WIP.  This bind off took me about 5 months.  I started the bind off in June.  It's just 4 lines but I only bind off 2 stitches each time.  This shawl was started on Aug 3 2013!  I'm glad its done.  It wasn't hard but the lace yarn was a bit hard to work with some of the stitches.  Details:
Needle:  Size 5 circular
Yarn:  Dream in Color Wisp in March '12

I Can Almost See The End!



I'm on the edge of this shawl.  It's only 4 rows but you only pick up 2 stitches.  I don't want to tell you how many stitches are on there right now.  I'm excited to finish this since I started this shawl in 2013.  I have a few projects still WIP from 2013 because that is when I was working part time and I had no time to work on my knitting & spinning.

No, It Really Doesn't Take More then a Year

I started this shawl Jul 27/13  The pattern is here:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/building-a-reef  It's a lovely pattern and the yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere which is SO soft to work with also.  So what is the issue that its taking me so long to knit this up.  Well, I started this before I got a part time job with Jo Ann.  I started that job in Sept 2013 and while I was working, I did very little knitting and spinning.  I didn't work that many hours but I worked most Saturdays and going from stay at home to working was hard for me to adjust to.  I also got distracted by new crafts (like sewing, playing with duct tape and I even got some clay but have yet to play with it).  I don't know if this shawl will be done by the end of the year but I really hope to get it finished early 2015 at latest!
