Well, I'm well into the stockinette portion of the shawl. But I'm having problems with my Denise needles. The yarn is really thin and keeps getting caught in the area where the cable and the needles join! Frustrating! Must get the energy to go to the store and get size 5 needles!

This is why I like to felt

I made a mistake on my Seraphim shawl, and it's about 10 rows back, I think. The mistake is fairly visible because it's the center line of the shawl. I think I'm not normal, because I'm having a serious debate with myself about whether to undo and fix or to just let it be and move on. I'm completely on the fence. This is why I LOVE felting. Felting forgives all mistakes, except over felting. But even that can be overcome by good blocking.

Sigh.

Seraphim

Downloaded the pattern and got the yarn yesterday. I wanted something pinkish and heathered, but it was not to be. Instead I'm going with this beautiful Habu grey color. I can't wait to get home and start the pattern tonight!
