"the point"

"the whole enchilada"
zephyr wool-silk in ebony
approx. 80 gm/945 yds
us 4 needles
finished size: 20" x 78" (will probably shrink a little after i remove all the pins)
gauge: who knows? i am a bad girl and didn't swatch!
modifications: i used beading banshee's ending for clue 4 and didn't knit all the cat's paw lace. i am not sure how many i actually knitted. i was going to knit the shorter version but didn't because i would have only had like 4 repeats of the cat's paw lace and thought it would look really funny. i did add beads to clue 4. i hope that it's not too long when i wear it. i am still waiting for it to completely dry before i undo all the pins.
now, i'm itching to start another lace project from my long list of shawl/stole mystery (mostly known now because i didn't start them on time) kals. i could start the mystic water shawl or the secret of the stole ii OR i could wait for the mystic light or secret of the bad nauheim ( both of which start soon). i think i need to buy more lace yarn!
i really should just go finish my serendipitys and work on those 3 new sock designs (plus write up that one for crystal palace yarn) instead of thinking of lace; but the lace is so fun!
ps. hey, debi, i think i finally figured out that blocking thing. send your stuff down! of course, if i block it, i keep it!!!!!!!!!! then i can have a contest and give away all your shawls for prizes!!!!!
edited to correct needle size used for stole. you would think i would know after working on the stole for 8 months.

Yeah right.
Your shawl is just beautiful. You did a wonderful job. Now you can send it here so I can see if I like the beads or if I like the length or whatever. Just mail it on up. But you better insure it for a million as it looks worth it.
I look forward to seeing what lace work you decide on next.

I like the mod for finishing clue 4 (I think I'll be a chicken and follow the clue as written!). You did a good job on finishing - I'll be following you soon I hope!
Oh, wow! That is absolutely stunning. And you're right -- isn't blocking just amazing? The before/after difference never ceases to amaze me, no matter how many times I see it. :)
Just gorgeous! I haven't knitted a shawl yet, although I have yarn and a pattern for one. I'm trying to figure out where I'd use one. I don't think it would go well under people's desks when I work on their computers? :-)
Wow, your Swan Lake is a beautiful work of art!
Absolutely incredibly gorgeous! WTG! So now you are laughing as I still remain at Clue 3 of SSii!
