Well, it's WIP Wed! And that means, more progress on the Marianna Shawl!
I'm now halfway along the edging! I've figured out the corners, it seems (though I've also learned
that dropping a stitch at the border of the edging is a pain-in-the-behind!) The short rows work out well, actually, much to my initial worry.
Thing is, I'm worried about running out of yarn. I'm halfway around the edging, and I'm really worried I won't have enough. Yarn is *Knit Picks Gloss Lace in the now-discontinued colourway "Marina", and I got it in 2014. So there's no chance of getting a new skein.
The yarn ball is on my laptop for scale, and as you can hopefully see, it's really not that much yarn left.
That said, there are a few folks on Ravelry who have this colour listed as 'will trade or sell', so if I really get stuck, I can send some emergency Ravmails. If it's not the same dye lot, I should be able to get away with alternating skeins.
It's a short update this WIP Wed -- while I've done a lot of knitting, really, it's about trying to finish this border! I've been knitting while watching the *Teachable "Women who Create" Summit. It started the on 26th, but runs to the 28th, so there's still time to *register, if you're interested. It's all about women who've created their online business with online courses, and it's been quite fascinating so far. You'll be able to catch the replays, if you like!
Anyway, wish me luck with my Yarn Chicken, and I'll see you back here for next week's WIP Wed! Happy Crafting!
