Finally, the finished Cherry Blossom Shawl...



I haven't pinned it down yet. I don't have blocking wires or anything that I could use to make a perfect circle so I hope it doesn't turn out too lopsided. I'm relieved that it is finished, but I am somewhat disappointed in that the outer edges seem too tight to stretch out the way it should. Maybe after I work on it, it will be okay.

I've been trying to find the right scarf pattern for my MIL and it seems to be more work than I'm willing to put into it. Unless I find something soon, I won't have time to make it anyway. There are a number of other projects I would like to make. The Tilted Jacket in the Winter 04 IK is intriguing. I would need 2000 yards of yarn though, but I don't have that much of one color in my stash--and I really want to use up some of my stash. I guess I'll spend the afternoon deciding what I would love to knit next.
