Close to Goal

The shawl is scrunched up on the needles at this stage, but here's a look.

(When I finish, I'll use a better indication of size than me shoe, I promise.)

Here are some closer looks.

(Did that make you feel like you were falling forward?)

Each row takes a long time now, which is an indication that it is nearing the end, not because of the time, but as a measure of how wide it is growing.

I haven't yet decided how to end it, but I'll include more garter rows so it lays flat.

In the meantime, I've ordered a couple of quilt books from Amazon, so just about the time I'm blocking this one, new ideas should be springing up.

Having the promise of ideas for the future makes me feel peaceful.
