Stripe Study Shawl KAL Update #4



I must admit, I haven't done much on my shawl this week. I'm on the border, so technically it's nearly done, but the border rows are just so long *laughs*

At least the green wedges had some interest from the wrap and turns, and the sense of achievement at finishing them. Now I find I am lacking the motivation to pick it up and just get it done!


I've probably done about a fifth of the border, and it's at a stage where it's very much "so close and yet so far". I know I'll finish it, and relatively soon, but I'm not forcing myself to pick it up. I'll do a row and then work on something else for a bit. I love the way the shawl is looking, so I don't want to end up resenting it *laughs*

This of course means that I am going to be way behind the others in the knitalong, some of whom have already finished, but hey, it's supposed to be fun, right?!

  2. I completely understand what you mean about being so close but so far. You will finish it when you finish it, not before. It will be totally worth it too when you produce such a beautiful shawl!

  5. I get that way when I am finishing up big stuff too. You will get it eventually, so don't worry. I still love your colors.

  6. I would much rather have something I love that took a bit longer than something I can't bear to look at any more! But then, I take forever to finish things!

  7. That is EXACTLY how I'm feeling about my stripe study at the moment! I'm about two thirds through the border but I can't seem to make myself work on it for long enough to finish off those last few rows!
