I knitted another thing! It's been awhile, the last thing was the Boyfriend Cardigan. Today it's a shawl called Offhand Lace. It's huge and looks like it should take 400 years to knit.

And I'm so sick of looking at it, if it isn't finished soon, I'm going to stab myself in the kidney with a knitting needle.… Continue reading Knitting: Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop
