i just knit the 100th row of my japanese feather and fan shawl, as mentioned extensively in the previous post. and i thought i'd celebrate by posting my hippo-in-the-shawl picture. i like how it looks liek he's sitting in a lake. :o)



this picture was taken before i actually started knitting with the new yarn, so you can't see the difference, but the new yarn is working out quite well - the knitting actually looks much neater with the thinner yarn. i'm hoping the old yarn will even out a little better in blocking. all in all, i'm rather satisfied with how it's going and can't WAIT to be finished and show it off.... 33 rows to go. that is if i don't decide to make another pattern repeat, because maybe that will make it just soo much more gorgeous... we'll see.
