I don't have any idea when it will actually get to Australia but I hope it gets there soon. I'm glad to do the edging first as well, but it is still the least interesting thing to knit in a shawl for me!Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-62706151329617412262007-11-28T22:13:00.000-08:002007-11-28T22:13:00.000-08:00Dear laritza,It is really pretty edging and I'm st...Dear laritza,<BR/><BR/>It is really pretty edging and I'm starting to memorize parts of it so now it's less boring as it goes a little bit faster:-) I'm very happy with the color of the yarn and it's nice and soft. Still, sometimes I have a pang knowing it's never going to be a "classic" in color. You really can't beat white or natural colors for lasting appeal.Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-58850091961480703572007-11-26T13:50:00.000-08:002007-11-26T13:50:00.000-08:00I'm so glad your Peacock found a good home.

I imagine it will be some time next year. Turkey was great and I don't have to cook for awhile due to left-overs! Have a great weekend!Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-9274322302963463732007-11-23T09:20:00.000-08:002007-11-23T09:20:00.000-08:00Princess is looking gorgeous!And a belated Happy T...Princess is looking gorgeous!<BR/><BR/>And a belated Happy Thanksgiving!!Soohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08072821039582965057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-17257489322082096052007-11-22T10:35:00.000-08:002007-11-22T10:35:00.000-08:00Dear Jason,Out!

They have a dishwashing machine over here so no problems in that area :-) Hard to tell if Princess will be pretty with only a length of edging but I am hopeful.Have a great Thanksgiving!Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-35595602302105536812007-11-22T10:32:00.000-08:002007-11-22T10:32:00.000-08:00Dear fleegle,Yeah.

I hate the abrupt transition to such a light color so I'm going to take it out and remove that portion of the colorway and keep knitting closer to what's already on the shawl. Don't be envious of the progress on Princess. This is going to be a knit that lasts all year. Plenty of time to mess it up! I knit the dressing with US 15 as I like it a little bulky :-)Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-35516433404436342832007-11-22T10:28:00.000-08:002007-11-22T10:28:00.000-08:00Dear littleberry,Happy Thanksgiving to you as well...Dear littleberry,<BR/><BR/>Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! I'm thinking of removing the section where the edge is so light. That is the only color that really stinks but it means I would have more tails to weave in. The Princess yarn is really very nice but I confess that the edgeing pattern is very boring to knit. Maybe I should say that I find almost all edgings boring to knit so perhaps it's a good thing that it's at the start rather than the end of this shawl! Still, long way to go.Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30259281.post-66370631691674598632007-11-22T09:54:00.000-08:002007-11-22T09:54:00.000-08:00Happy Thanksgiving!
