What Have I Been Up To Wednesday

I started the Mystic Light Shawl knitalong on 26 Mar and finally finished it yesterday. [Note that I do need both a better blocking board (and it has to be big) and blocking skills.] I'm happy with the way it came out, although a solid color yarn probably would've been better. It's made with fingering weight yarn (Wooly Wonka's merino superwash, color Zinnia) - not superfine, but definitely not heavy. Good thing it's finished -- since I signed up for two more knitalong, one of which starts this weekend. Working in a knitalong provides a lot of motivation to finish a project.

The modeled picture doesn't show the cabled edge along the top very well. The design is intended to look like flames.
