I am finally blocking my wedding shawl (I know I'm getting married in 2009) that I finished in late August. The blocking wires I have are nice. My mom was joking she wanted a cashmere shawl. I still don't love myself enough for that fiber. The wedding shawl is silk. Pictures posted soon

The wedding shawl is finished. I casted on for it July 12th and I finished it September 8th. I still need to block it, but I am not wearing it until May 22nd 2009. I have time. I'm just super excited that not only do I have a finished object, but I have a finished LACE shawl.

I want the Jane Austen Tote for a knitting bag. I was bad today and caved and bought the Gingerbread Dude Socks That Rock. I am half done with the edging of the wedding shawl. I know I have just under two years, but I don't want to be mad dashing on my knitting and blocking while doing a hundred other things.

I stumbled back onto the Republic of Pemberley's Cafe Press store. I want the What would Jane Knit tote bag. It would make a fine knitting bag. I wonder where is the Elizabeth Gaskell store. I want a I married my Roger Hemley coffee mug.
On the knitting front I finished 20 repeats of the Willow Leaf lace border on one side. I thought I would need to knit 37 repeats but that won't be enough. I may need to knit the 57 repeats that are called for on the pattern. It is a lovely border. I just worry about yardage.

I am on repeat 56 of 62 on my shawl. I'm using the melon pattern from Victorian Lace Today. I have read on ravelry that the shawls edging take a lot of yarn, and I am on my second ball of yarn. I finished the first ball during repeat 52. I am going to change the edging from the one in the pattern to the Willow Edging from the Maple Leaf shawl. What do my knitting readers think. I'm really worried about running out of yarn. I know I'm always worried about running out of yarn. This time I only have a little over a 100 yards of extra material.
