So my Slice of Lily's Pi Shawl has not been coming along very quickly, mainly because I had to get something else finished - one of only one or two things that I shall make this year that actually have a deadline, but an important one. And then I wanted something smaller, quicker and less slippy to knit and not on circulars; but I had nothing, so did nothing for some few days. I know, sacrilege !
But after the Bank Holiday weekend was over, I found my Big Girl Pants and got on with it, and ignored/fudged the mistakes I made, so have now completed the first repeat (out of 2) of Chart C. I have no idea how many stitches are on the needles, I just know that it's a lot.
Here is a photo in today's sliver of sunshine; the color is really amazing, I don't get bored with it:
With only 1 repeat of Chart C, 1 repeat of Chart D and the ruffle to go, it seems like I might have quite a bit of yarn left; but I know how deceptive looks can be, especially when things are all scrunched up together, as you can't truly see how big or long your work has got ...
Don't forget to check out all the WIP's at Tami's Amis ....
That looks beautiful - and complicated! You're entitled to a couple of days vegging out on the sofa with your other half *she says defending her own few days of non-activity* ;-)

That colour really is stunning :)
ReplyDeleteLooks great ;) I'd change the ruffle pattern when you get to it tho - makes it look like granny's curtains :D
ReplyDeletethat is such a pretty shawl, the colour is amazing - i can't wait to get photos out in the sun (if we ever get some!!!)
ReplyDeleteRemember the ruffle eats yarn big time! It really is a very pretty yarn you have chosen. I can't wait to see what it looks like all blocked out and pretty. It's going to be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color!
