Knit n Things

Crappy pictures for your viewing pleasure. Why did no one tell me that lace is ridiculously hard to photograph?? I just spent the past 20 minutes with camera & pins attempting to make some sense out of this thing so you all could see what I'm up to and this is what I came up with. It does the shawl no justice at all - it's much prettier in person I swear. And when it's all blocked out (sometime in this decade I hope) it will be stunning. Although at 8 stitch increases per round and 200 some odd stitches at round 50 and maybe 150 rounds to go I highley doubt this thing will be done anytime soon. I really don't understand how these women are done already. It boggles the mind.
