Example of what the border will be...

Here's an example of what the border will look like. Maybe. Depends on if I figure out how to do it. :-) Also, notice how the leaves in her shawl are all open and airy? Mine will hopefully look that way too after blocking. That's how it is with lace.

More 'in progress' pics, as requested. Sorry that they're kind of blurry - I'll have to figure out what to do about that.

I pinned it out for the 2nd pic, to give some idea of what it will look like after it's blocked. Pinned out, it currently measures 15" across and 18.75" long.

Only 35 repeats to go, and then the border!

Lace (Myrtle Leaf Shawl) 2

Moving along. I think my gauge is a bit smaller than the pattern recommends, but I'm not starting over again. I may end up with something between a scarf and a shawl, which will be fine.

Here's the great big cone of yarn I'm working from:

Then after I got the cool needles from my sis-in-law, I moved it to those:

But after knitting more, the error in the pattern revealed itself. Notice how the section circled in red doesn't look like the section circled in green?

And here's the shawl after I undid to the lifeline and re-knitted it based on the errata:
