I finished my daughter's shawl last night. Bound it off, put the fringe on, and waited patiently for morning so I could give it to her. In retrospect, I should probably have made it a tad bigger, because it barely fits. I was worried I wouldn't have enough yarn for the fringe though, so I stopped a bit early. No matter, I'll just put a button on it and she can wear it more like a shrug. She really likes it. I'll post some pictures later.
Today I'm going to Michael's to take advantage of their Labour Day sale. They have Lion Homespun and Wool Ease on sale, so I want to pick up yarn for a felted knitting bag and another shawl. I also have a 50% off coupon, so I'll use it on something as well. I'm hoping to find a set of needles since so far all I have are size 7's.
I'm also planning on making myself an abacus bracelet and some stitch markers. If I want to do anything more complicated than this shawl, I'm going to need them. I'll post pics of them in a later post.
