I'm sure it'll be worth the challenges you're having. You're almost done. Knit on! The lace is beautiful work. I’m sure it’ll be worth the challenges you’re having. You’re almost done.

Knit on!

Ahhhhh well, perhaps someday I will change my mind...I'm plugging away on my Shaped Triangle (which is looking very nice) and getting ready to rip out 8 inches of a scarf I started in purple Gloss and decided I want a lacier pattern. Opal, your pomatomus socks are beautiful, and so is the Hidcote Garden, so keep up the good work! I share your lack of enthusiam for sewing in linings and wish you well with that, too.

I find I need to be in the correct mood for sewing in linings, and having some chocolate handy helps. When I looked at your Hidcote Garden Shawl, my thought was "I must knit this shawl!", great picture, beautiful color and splendid knitting. And those Pomatomas socks are very inspiring, I can see why they keep calling you back! Thank you for your long & vibrant post.

I think they would look awesome in any muted, pale color...what about a powdery blue?

The beginning goes so quickly, then as the rows get longer, it's disheartening to knit and knit, then realize you're still not done with the row. You are doing a lovely job and you'll get there. As for the FPS, since there are three different patterns, it really does keep the interest pretty well. Each pattern is like doing a small swatch (granted, it is attached to a really big swatch:), so you do one and then, you're ready for another pattern. The entrelac isn't so tedious because of all the switching between lace patterns. I love triangular shawls, but I really don’t like how the rows just get longer and longer.
