I'm back. Again!
Sorry if anyone has had trouble leaving a comment. Apparently our host server had an upgrade, but something in Moveable Type didn't like the upgrade and there was no access to blogging, commenting, updating or anything else apart from reading.
But I have News! Big News! Wonderful News!!

The feather and fan shawl is off the needles. Yes, you heard correctly, it's done! Not blocked yet, because the weather has been atrocious. And I have a space problem. I will have to block it on my bed, so I'm hoping for a lovely day so I can block it first thing in the morning, and hopefully it will be done by bedtime.
I had to stop one pattern repeat (four rows) from the end, due to running out of yarn. This is how much yarn I had left.

I used Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud in "Horizon", but I only had 4 skeins. The actual pattern called for more than 2000 yards, so I thought I would run out long before I did. I'm not sure if I did the crochet cast off correctly, because as I may have mentioned in the past, I don't crochet. At all.
Anyway, it will all come out in the blocking. Including the bits where I fudged the numbers!

So what's next? Well, dress rehearsal at Em's studio is in 3 weeks, and I have been very, very lax in getting all the sewing done, so it may be a bit quieter than usual.
However, Mystery Shawl 2 is on the needles. The Vanalinn gloves have been waiting patiently for some attention. The endless sock is nearing the end. At bloody last!! This is the yarn I have left.

Then I have to do the second one! I wish I'd learnt two socks at once. And I bought the pattern for Wendy's Girlfriend's School Spirit Sweater for Em.
And I haven't finished my FCEK Cotton-Ease cardi yet, either.
Once upon a time I used to have a self imposed rule about no more than 3 works in progress at a time. Pfft!
