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!!
