P.S. I simply couldn't resist.

I should really know when to quit after that last, epic blog post that took bloody FOREVER to type, but I wanted to give you all a sneak peak at my American Beauty shawl, now officially and undeniably a work-in-progress.

They say that the journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. So this shawl starts out with a dainty little rectangle (19 stitches x 8 rows). The lace pattern is then worked outwards from here in a triangular shape, and soon the piece will be ready for transfer to a circular needle, and a date with destiny. More soon...
