The knitting bitches are doing a knit-a-long for this
lace shawl from Meg Swanson's A Gathering of Lace . I admit, Ruthee had to do the cast on for me. I am afraid that if I had to do the cast-on myself it would have ended violently. Luckily for my family, she graciously offered to save me from that nerve racking hell.
After she did the cast on it was easy going! Everyone things that my choice of
yarn was insane, but it seems to be turning out nicely. I am excited to see how it will turn out and whether I will actually finish it.
