I've been working hard this week to get Ila's prayer shawl done. I've managed to get quite a few inches knit up - and I'm more than half done, but I'd love to have it finished already. Ila's DDIL called this morning to say that she was scheduled for a brain biopsy sometime today; she's had a number of tests done in the past week, and she's quite drained by all of it. She could really use a prayer shawl!
This is what it looks like now:
I realized about 2 rows back that I'd mis-read the pattern - the eyelet rows are supposed to be knit every 20 rows, not every 10 as I've done. I like this look though, and I'll continue to knit it wrong - besides that, I don't have time to pull it all back and re-knit it...
I'm linking up on Judy's On the Needles
site.
It looks great, and it will be an original! I'm working on a prayer shawl also but very slowly.
