In which objects are larger than they appear

I wish I had better photos to show you, but until these pieces are finished and blocked, this is as good as it gets.

The Lune shawl is nearing completion, one way or another. I’m not sure if I’ll get to the end of the yarn before I throw in the towel over those looooong stockinette rows. That’s a 40″ needle, and the stitches are pretty bunched up. It’s not a really deep shawl, but the extreme crescent shape makes that outer edge huge.

And I’m still pecking away at the Echo Flower shawl. After the first couple of repeats were out of the way, it got much easier. But still, there’s one row that’s full of make-3-into-9′s, K3tog’s, and SSSK’s. That’s the killer.

It’s very pretty, though, even without having been blocked.

    So pretty.

    My current Niebling has 9 into 5 and it’s not pretty. Makes me sort of like the 3 into 9s.
