Finally a FO





That is a Finished object.
Okay it is blocking today.
I finished the border on this pi shawl in October, but never seemed to find the time to block it.

Today while reading blogs I happened upon soulmama's blog. She has a sweet little shawl on there today knit out of Noro sock yarn, which I found interesting.

Anyway. Seeing that little shawl prompted me to block this baby. Why it took me 2 years to knit the border and then almost 5 months to block it, I don't know. It is beautiful.
More info for those who want to know. This was a Mystery Pi Shawl and is now known as Desert Sun. http://www.bopeepswoolshop.com/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_7&products_id=11
Mine is much smaller than the one pictured in such a sunny yellow. Mine should possibly be called something other than Desert Sun.

It's gorgeous! What are the stitch patterns you used? Smallness agrees that it's beautiful. Your positive-negative space, the colors, the perfectly even stitches, and the neat echo carried through the stitch patterns makes a PERFECT SHAWL.

Wowza. --syl

It makes me dizzy, in that hypnotized way. I feel like I'm both falling into the center and being pulled out the edges.

See, it's things like this that make me want to put a frame around my knitting and hang it on the wall sometimes. ;)
