On to other news. I finished this prayer shawl today. This one is for my friend who's mother died the week before Christmas. It was #1 on my WIP list.
I've still got to weave the end in, and I want to wash and dry it. I'll do that tomorrow, then I'll lightly block it.
The first picture I took of it is this one:
I wanted to lay it out on the floor to take the picture, since it is so big. When I looked at the photo, though, I noticed that the shawl had blended in with the carpet. So I took the one on the bed. It didn't turn out very good either, but you can see the shawl better.With that completion, my WIP list now looks like this:
1.
2. Irish Hiking Scarf
3. Wavy Lace Shawl
4. Red Heart Strata Scarf
5. Branching Out Lace Scarf
6. Texas Longhorn Scarf
7.
8. Monthly dishcloths KAL--two per month
9. Socks knitted from the yarn I got for Christmas (two pair)
10. One slot left open for a screaming stash project

Oh wow, you allow yourself 10 WIPs. And save slots for new ones! That's so sensible. I guilt myself into oblivion and end up starting new stuff anyway. Your system seems better.
The prayer shawl is lovely. You're right, it shows up much better on the bed!
Sus, I wish I could claim credit for the idea, but I got it from the Stashalong I'm a member of.
Thank you for the compliment on the shawl. I just hope it brings comfort to the one it is intended for.
