Shawls ... effing shawls


So last night, I had a teeth gnashing, screeching, F bomb dropping session from the deepest recesses of hell as I tried to do a circular beginnings cast on for a shawl.

O M effing G.



Lace yarn, double point needles that were NOT wooden ... OR ADDI since none of my addi lace needles were small enough or wooden.

FINALLY got the cast on down and it has been unbelievably maddening.

I had to go read Elizabeth Zimmerman about 10 times.

I'm looking at her daughter's shawls from A Gathering of Lace .

Funny how lace looks like a shriveled up mess until it's blocked.

This shawl cast on ... made me gnash my teeth and spit nails. I want to drink.

So I ripped the little circular maddening thing ... I'm feeling calmer about the cast on now. So the neighbors are safe.
