Loving Every Minute

Time to talk about the true scale of this thing.  Tis a beastie.

At the start there were about 180 stitches on each side.  Each repeat of the lace gives me an addtional 20 stitches from increasing for the corners.  At this point of the shawl, I have gained 160 extra stitches 

or in other words, almost another side of the shawl.  

It is taking me a healthy hour to get a round complete no matter where I am in the lace, though the first couple rows of each repeat are a little slower till everything is clearly established again.  

And I am loving every minute of it.
