For Exhibit C I present to you my first finished knitted object of 2010: Lala\u2019s Wedding Shawl. Not made for Lala, but for me to wear to her wedding (Ravelry link<\/a>). I began this project in October, teaching a class on it at the shop<\/a>. It\u2019s a lace entrelac shawl called Dianna. After scoping the other Dianna shawls on Ravelry I decided that adding a simple border gives this shawl the finishing touch it needs.<\/p>\n

I have a tendency to leave projects behind once I\u2019ve finished teaching the class for them, so I made it my goal to wear this to Lala\u2019s wedding on January 16th. I calculated how many entrelac squares I\u2019d need to complete each week in order to meet my goal, and I added these to my craft calendar. That craft calendar that works really well until I get behind (Gulp.). I did end up rushing through this on the last three available days before the wedding.<\/p>\n

The fabulous thing about knitting lace is the magic of blocking. Before this shawl was blocked it looked a lot like a pile of dog barf.<\/p>\n

Strings every which way. A heap of a mess. But let that dog barf take a nice long hot bath, and spread it out to dry, and before you appears a thing of lacey beauty, dropped stitches not withstanding.<\/p>\n

This is the first shawl I\u2019ve made, and I\u2019m not quite sure if I\u2019ll do another one any time soon. I did enjoy it, but I certainly have a lot of unfinished objects to get out of the way as I contemplate my next shawl adventure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
