25apr10 - This is my first lace shawl. I’ve already made several mistakes and had to tink back …

2may10 - Because of the deadline I have for completion of this, I have had to cut out a few pattern repeats. I cut out two repeats of chart 1 and 1 repeat of chart 2. Now, I have to pick up some beads for this sucka. Fingers are crossed that I can find a few seconds to duck into Omer de Serres today.

7may10 - Finished this shawl on Weds night, and set it out to block immediately. All in all, a very interesting experience. Also, this was my first project with beads, and now I want to put beads in EVERYTHING.
