Just a quick update to say that I have finished the Icelandic Lace Shawl. It was a quick and easy knit. The color changes seem to have given it some interest. That said I am not sure that the finished product really appeals to me that much but it does seem to be a practical shawl that you don't have to agonize over getting snagged.
Here are some pictures. I look somewhat agonized. My husband sometimes has trouble taking pictures and I think I was letting it get to me.
I have also finished Katherine's first sleeve. The people in my knitting group so agonized about cutting the armhole steek but really what are you to do? A sweater with no arms would not be of much use. Likewise, I have two arms so off to finish Katherine up. I am hoping my energy can hold up until her completion.
In other news, if you have a Ravelry account I have been loading pictures of old stuff onto it. It's been a nice trip down memory lane. Check me out at LorriAnn.

WOW! Your shawl knit up so fast. It looks great, but I have to say, as a big Fair Isle fan, Katherine will be absolutely gorgeous! I want to knit one...
It's beautiful! I love how you put the colors together.
Are you enjoying Kathrine? I'm thinking of making a version of this sweater as a men's cardigan using light and dark grey, and sticking to two colors....
YAY! I really like the shawl! Those are my colors! Katherine will be done in no time too! m :)
I know what you mean about ravelry and "memory lane"! I received my invitation about 10 days ago, and I've been trying to pace myself: only 1 or 2 projects a day. Digging up photos, pulling out yarn bands, . . . . But it's fun, too! I'm on as mtmom.
WOW! (I did not wait until lunch break to check your blog) that sweater is BEAUTIFUL! (shawl is very nice too). I also found steeks to be not nearly as scary as I thought they would be. Very very nice work, looking forward to seeing the FO!
