652

Not the best picture, but here it is... the Bridgewater Shawl in blob form. It's actually brown. And it's a square. And I spent a good long time today picking up 652 stitches. Now, I'm ready to start the edging.


However... knitting a lace shawl is not exactly the best way to put a huge dent in the stash. I need to cast on something worsted-weight. I'm planning on knitting another Clapotis, this one for me. That should help.

Ooh, I am loving the color and the openess of it.

I am getting ready to start a worsted clapotis too!! I am one skein short though, so I have to figure out how to adjust accordingly.

It's going to be gorgeous! I can't even imagine picking up that many stitches!

I like that - "in blob form" - many of my UFOs are in blob form at the moment...

Oh my goodness! 652 Stitches, that's a lot of work. It will be worth it in the long run.
Love the color of the yarn.
