A Full 24 Hours Ahead of Schedule

The Stora Dimum Shawl

Completed Saturday, March 20, 2010, 10:00 PM. More pictures after blocking.

Four Days To Go

I think I'm on the home stretch -- and just maybe -- I'll actually finsh by the Closing Ceremony of the 2010 Paralympics in Vancouver on Sunday March 21st.

At this point I have decreased to 161 stitches. Ironically, 161 rows completed. There must be something magical about that number but I can't quite see it. Every other row I will be decreasing 4 stitches and every 20th row an additional 20 stitches are decreased.

The yarn has been nice to work with. A good feel and it looks like the shawl will have a nice drape. Am getting anxious to see this blocked. I think it will end up being a very nice project and one I can be "gold medal" proud of even if it wasn't completed in the original timeframe.

Onward!!
