Shawl-a-palooza: Wednesday progress report
Here's my Love Prism shawl in progress as of Wednesday morning:
I was worried about the consumption of Love, the luscious mohair blend that makes up the background for the stripes. I'm a little less worried now. I made it through the point and about 13" into the straight section before adding my second ball of Love. I think there just might be enough Love to go around.
I'm not totally happy with the first triangle of this shawl. I didn't know I hated it until Sunday when I saw what the bride had done. Have a look:

Wow, her edges are amazingly straight! How does she do that?
I don't know how I did it! Lots of tugging and straightening along the way, I guess, but honestly I didn't think much about it.
I really like the way yours is progressing! The photo at the top looks swell. Looks like you did a double-wrap before your drops in the tubular stuff -- is that right? Shows off the tubes better than a single wrap.
I've been fortunate to only have to rip out one row of Love, and that was knit into a row of ribbon so there was no mohair grabbin' goin' on. But, ripping out 6 rows of charmeuse and reknitting it was no picnic. It kept wanting to fold up on itself which would have hidden its true beauty. But, I got it to work. That'll teach me to drop a stitch!!
You can't reuse Love... you're right, that joke IS funny every time. ;)
They look so great! What a beautiful design. Best of luck getting it done in time.
