WIP-it Wednesday round-up...

...in which we have a little progress. By far, the shawl has gotten the most attention.

Active WIPs in the rotation:
  1. Lacy in the Sky with Diamonds (Celestarium) shawl [Ravelry]: 75% done
    If I was doing the edging that the pattern specifies, I'd be 90% done. However, I picked an edging that requires more stitches per row. :-p

    I have finished 157 rounds as indicated in the chart (yay!) and have now knitting 4 extra rounds (k1tog yo/knit all with bead placement/yo k2tog/knit all no beads) to set up for the edging. Here's what the bead row looks like:

    Lacy in the Sky with Diamonds shawl, as of 4/3/13

    On the plus side, I finally picked an edging! I saw an edging on a free shawl in Ravelry that has since disappeared, which is not a big deal as the pattern was no longer available for download. I found the same edging on a Jared Flood pattern (Leaves of Grass) that I ended up buying just for the edging. The shawl itself is beautiful and might get placed in my queue in the future!
     
  2. Caterwauling quilt: machine quilting 75% done
    I might be able to finish this over the weekend.
     
  3. Pilgrim handspun [Ravelry]: On hold
     
  4. Spin-In Fiber sampler: continuing; waiting for next Spin-In.
