JANUARY 25TH UPDATE!
Feather and Fan Pi Shawl
I am almost halfway thru the 190 rounds on my shawl now and thought it was time to post another picture. Even though I'm halfway through the rounds I know I still have more than half the shawl to knit. I last counted 512 stitches on the needles and with still many increases to go the rounds will take longer and longer to complete.
I'm really liking how this is knitting up and how it forms a bag to conveniently hold the current skein of yarn.
This weekend my good friend Nancy came for a visit and we went yarn shopping. We both found wonderful things to make! This is one of the projects I bought. It is a Pi shawl out of the book "A Gathering of Lace" by Meg Swansen. I am making it out of Rowan Kidsilk Night in a lovely shade of light gray.
I know, I know, why am I buying yarn when I have my own supply of Shetland wool? Well, for one thing I can't spin this fine of a yarn and the other is I couldn't resist this yarn. It's simply lovely.

I've had to completely frog this shawl and start it over. I got to row 51 and had a little trouble understanding the chart but with Franna's help I made it through the row or so I thought until I got to row 53. At that point it was easier to start it over than try to figure out what went wrong so out it came.
Jan. 9 I'm back on track!!
Now, on to my Pi Shawl. I am still making progress on my shawl but it is definately slowing down. I took some pics today in attempt to show the progress I've made but decided it's very hard to get it to lay out well. It just looks like a big sack. Oh well, for what its worth here it is.
The one on the right shows the center motif well.
There are a total of 190 rounds on this shawl. I've completed 140 so far......
