Day 20 - The Closest I'll Be To Shopping For A While

Since I have extended MY spending ban for 8 additional days, this
is no longer off-limits, so I have moved forward on the edging:

(The odd-color bits of yarn will be coming off. I am known to do a lot of odd things, but making lace shawls with random bits of miss-matched yarn isn't one of them).


IT FEELS FABULOUS TO HAVE SOMETHING NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There is such an emotional rush to getting a package in the mail! Besides just the thrill of getting anything in the mail that isn't addressed to "occupant" or asking for money, even when I know what is supposed to be in the package, it's still a huge thrill. When it's yarn....well, then it's close to a religious experience.

Theo didn't experience quite the same level of excitement, however......

Yay for something new! And it is so pretty, too! I know you have been frustrated by the inaccurate yardage in the VLT book, but how is the pattern? I have started a scarf pattern (set aside in favor of M's sweater) and it's been OK so far. But scarves are more straightforward than gorgeous lacy capes...
