Summer Vacation

Well, sort've. I'm going to be the math department chair next year which apparently has a lot of various things that have to be done over the summer. Hmmm... gotta figure out some nice relaxing stuff to do so that I'm ready for the next school year.

I am FINISHED with my friend's lace wedding shawl. I ended up with 11 pattern repeats instead of the 13 the pattern calls for. I really enjoyed this pattern, it was a very good introductory lace pattern. After the first repeat it also got fairly easy to determine where I was in the pattern and if things were lining up correctly. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. I steam blocked it and it easily blocked to 70" long which should be perfect for a shoulder wrap. I might make this again for myself, but... longer. And well, NOT in off-white. I also wonder what it would look like in garter stitch.
