Shawls!
The first of my shawls is complete and I've begun work on the samplers for the beginning lace class. Yesterday I picked up a copy of Traditional Knitted Lace Shawls by Martha Waterman--what a tremendous resource! I can't believe I hadn't gotten it before!
The book is really a how-to on shawl construction, covering the triangular, square, rectangular and circular shaping methods--sweet! I'm going to design a triangular shawl tonight with a simple lace pattern (maybe Cat's Paw) as the ground and some equally simple lace edging. I'm having way too much fun with this!

Isn't that book the best? I used it for my very first shawl--a big, blue square--AND I used it for lace patterns for my Pi-are-square shawl. (For which I thank you for the compliments. I've never been anyone's hero before!)
