Remember in an earlier post I wrote that our eldest daughter requested a look-a-like shawl for her honeymoon? Well thanks to Chan I now have the required amount of yarn in the perfect color.Her bridal shower is July 30th and I plan to have this finished by then.
This pattern had a chevron design but I opted to forego the main body pattern in lieu of a larger shawl with a full ruffle. The larger shawl ruffle will result in a zillion or so stitches (by my estimate ;). Another reason to skip the chevron pattern. I want to do the ruffle in k1p1 instead of st st which would cause it to curl.
And if anyone knows me they know how much I dislike k1p1. I'll keep you posted on the progress. So far so good. I hear the heat and humidity are returning so the air conditioner will be cranked so I can knit away.

That's going to be a beautiful shawl. : ) Although I feel your pain on the K1P1. Ugh.
fun---going for Knit picks palette in forest green for mine-if I ever get around to it!
Oh yea - that ruffle is going to bite the big one, isn't it? I ordered my yarn but it isn't here yet. Your's was quick. g
Your girls don't read your blog?!!?
Can't wait to see the finished copy-Kate! :)
