According to the ticker, the time elapsed is 95.05%. And I'm DONE!!! WOOHOO!Here is a picture of the completed shawl - obviously my math was way off because the finished length is 66" not the 75-80 that I had estimated. But still plenty long and I LOVE it - it's so warm and pretty and girly!
I've also taken a close-up of one corner to show that it is, in fact, Feather and Fan (sorry, the picture is a little fuzzy). Ends are darned in and I will be blocking this tomorrow because I need to use the bed to block it and I need to sleep in the
bed, first. You understand.I have to say, as I finished casting it off, I felt a little sad - completion anxiety, I guess. It occupied so much time and energy and thought over the last two weeks and now - a bit of emptiness, I suppose I'd call it. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it's done and I'll be showing it off like crazy in days / weeks to come, I'm sure. But it felt weird to be finished.
I see that our Fearless Leader is approaching major finishing-crisis (along with Ken - who knew how cute Ken was? Yum!), so I will now commit the rest of my Olympic-knitting energy to "stay awake" thoughts for Steph, who inspired me to this divine madness and to whom I am grateful for same.
Oh, there is a teeny mistake in the shawl (what's the adage? Only God is perfect?) where I continued to purl on a purl row and purled the border stitches on one side. I know where it is, but I'm not telling, and I'm not looking for any more mistakes, in case there are any. I LOVE this shawl!
Now, I've earned me some pie. And a gold medal. How cool is that?
