The Shelter Shawl is done and is drying from being spritzed and dressed. It's not quite 5 feet in diameter, so it's not quite as big as I would have liked it, but it's going up for raffle Monday. There is nothing quite so satisfying as finishing up a piece of lace and seeing it all spread out after working one's fingers to the bone and cursing on occasion when you do a pattern wrong. It's addictive. I'm basking in the post-FO high now mmmmmmmmm...
Where's that Rose Trellis Shawl I was working on earlier?
Coming up on the next FiberQat...Sharon Rose aka NeedleGirl sent me some of her handspun and some nummy chocolate in return for my making her socks out of the Araucania yarn. I'll have to find a fun pattern to do the tops. She's promised me a ride in one of her Austin taxis when she comes in to visit Portland as well, so this will be well worth making her sockies. The yarn originally was going to go to Sock Wars but now that I've read some of the posts I'm glad I opted to drop out. So tonight I'll start searching for a pattern and take them with me tomorrow when I go out for choir practice and knitting with list buddies.

Very nice, Miss Duff.
Looks lovely, Duffy! Should do well at the raffle....
OH ....MY.... GOD!!!! I actually gasped when I opened your page. I'm so impressed by lacework, but I lack the patience to do it myself. It's even prettier since it'll serve a good cause. :)
WOW! Duffy, that is *beauuuuutiful*! Mmm, I clearly need to cast on a lace shawl... I hear the yarn calling my name...
Very impressive, I love admiring and working on lace, would love to get the pattern. Congrats
