FO - Lady Cornwall Shrug

As you can probably guess from the dearth of posting, I'm in full-on moving mode. We move next Saturday, and everything has to be ready to go in to the truck by Friday night.

I'm not in bad shape, but you really don't realize how much stuff you have until you start putting it in boxes. In between it all, I did find some time to finish up the Lady Cornwall shrug. And I'm afraid these are the best shots you're going to get of the shrug. I don't have time to head up to Mom's for a photoshoot, so I was left with the option of contorting myself to get a few modelled shots.

Over all - the lace pattern is very easy. But, as mentioned before, starting the charts on different rows does add a little unnecessary confusion. There was a lot of stopping, counting and tinking. We're I to knit this again, I would sit down and do the math to start them on the same row.

But I prevailed! I used House Cat in Milk Chocolate - and it was perfect. Nice and soft and sproingy. The lace has lots of stretch, so the finished knit is nice and comfortable. If this was for myself, I add more rows knit the body ribbing, just to give a little more coverage. But, I'll see how my coworker feels about this. She has a specific dress she wants to wear it with. If she needs more, I can always take out the bind off and knit more.

And now all the knitting is packed up. I left my Silver Cardigan out, so you won't see much progress until after we get settled. And now I have to get back to the packing... and see what new nook or cranny Tux has found to nap in...
