Oh yes! After a slight delay the first of the SMSKAL shawls is finished and blocked and is currently draped around my shoulders :oD
I'd managed to get to the end of the last row of the last chart and then discovered that i'd lost both the .jpg and my printout of the last set of instructions, all i had was the chart!! It was very annoying and it stressed me out big time! All i wanted to do was finish the shawl and i didn't know if i had another repeat to do or if i was casting off! Luckily the lovely ladies in the Socktopods group came to my rescue and not only was i informed that now was the time to cast off i was also sent the complete set of charts for the shawl!! They are now safely saved on my hard drive :oD
The orange version is coming along, i have one chart repeat for the middle section to do and then it's just the final 30 rows of the leaf section, a wash and a block and that's done too! I can't decide whether to cast on my Ishbel now or if i should wait until the orange shawl is done ;o)
I probably should wait but i do have an ITCH!! ::lol::
In other news, Ladybird Linz sent me her leftover Fabel in the same colourway as the unfinished Baktus so that is now completed too - YaY!
