Lacing It Up

Although I have not had my surgery yet, which means no rehab progress to report, I have been making splendid progress on my knitting!

My shawl is coming along nicely and about halfway completed:

The photo does not capture the color (Red Heart with Love's Holly Berry) well, but you can see the hole-y lace pattern.  And actually, you can see a particularly large hole near the bottom right-ish section of the piece where I inadvertently dropped a stitch or two...

Whatever, it adds character.  Says the woman who has started and re-started this project numerous times.

Between the color and thicker yarn, my shawl will look quite different than the picture from the original pattern.

Mine will not drape as nicely, but again, whatever.  My shawl will be a darker, more bad-ass version.

Otherwise, the edge needs to be blocked, or straightened/flattened, which is part of the finishing that will be done at the end.

Even badasses need finishing.
