Guess it's been a while since I posted a Michigan Upper Penninsula lace shawl update! About 18 days, and as you can see, there's been LOTS of progress! Needless to say, I'm thrilled! The edging is about a quarter finished, then comes the fun - washing and blocking!! Yippee!
Here's a close-up shot where you can get an idea of the edging, bubble lace, fish, more bubbles, water ripples, and flowers. The shot on the right is the entire thing and probably a bit closer to the colors. Sorry for the picture quality. My computer's dead so I don't have a way to crop or fix the color, but thought you'd like an update!
Will post more shots once it's completely finished, then blocked!
Somehow, the curtains I made for my office/guest room didn't seem to do it for me, so I made a cute set of valence ruffles and hung them today. Had also had to buy another set of hardware to hang the other rod, so now the set of curtains is complete!
Am still chugging along on the Upper Penninsula (aka Pacific NW) shawl. I have completed the seagulls, the pine trees, and those pesky little "sand dollars" that only live in salt water. Actually, now that they're finished, I'm certain they look precisely like a lovely little Upper Penninsula flower! Yes, that's it - they're flowers! Whew! Anyway, began the water pattern tonite and will most likely be working on that for a while.
The darned thing is getting a bit bulky to try and take a picture, but may try taking some of individual patterns sometime soon to post on here. So far, haven't had to frog any more for a while. Must be getting better and catching mistakes sooner! hehehe
