This is 75 repeats completing the edging for Andrea's Shawl. The original pattern calls for 93 repeats but the yarn I'm using is a lot bigger so I went down one set of repeats. I'm knitting a shawl, not a sail. I started the edging Thursday morning and finished it Sunday morning. I want so very badly to start on the lace portion of the shawl but I've only just started spinning the yarn. Then, of course, I have to dye it. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find my dyeing book so there's another delay. Frustrating.
Did you survive Black Friday? I'm happy to say I spent the entire day, with the exception of lunch with my sisters, at home and never set foot in a store. I hate crowds. I hate standing in line. Most of my shopping will likely be from Amazon. My preferred gifts, when possible, are art supplies and books. My niece is getting art supplies and I bought them Thursday night at Michaels. The Christmas shopping has begun!
I'm with you on black Friday. I stayed home and was glad of it, after seeing the news reports. Crowds like that scare me to death, not to mention that I really need my beauty sleep.
Perhaps Tyr might like to pack up that fingerling potato and bring it to Atlanta where Boris has discovered that a turkey wishbone is also a lot of fun to play with. I really can't say where it is at the moment, but it always turns up when I least expect it.

My black friday went a lot easier than previous ones. No one rammed me with a shopping cart or cursed me or anything... (As I think about it, I realize that I've never shopped on a black friday - I've always either been working, or stayed home eating turkey leftovers.)

Hi Becky,
How easy is the pattern for this lace edging? I am almost done with a shawl I am knitting, but I think it needs some sort of lace edge...
