gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous - I'm still afraid of lace but I guess sooner or later (probably later) I'll give it a try. OH and the Chica monkey socks - just too cute!! I have a friend I call Chica-bea (that last part is pronounced "bay") from the movie Nell - I just love the way it sounds and the way she said it was so intimate 'cause she was talking to her missing twin.

j/k It's beautiful! I love the color, very luna moth.
Posted by: E to the M at July 11, 2007 11:24 AM
YEESSSS!! I live for "things blocking" photos. Especially when they don't involve blocking boards. Because I don't own a blocking board. And can't afford one. And because I can never seem to block things properly. Thus, I am always up for some insight. The shawl looks beautious.
Posted by: knittingphilistine at July 11, 2007 11:26 AM
drool...
Looks fabulous!
Posted by: Risa at July 11, 2007 11:43 AM
Cara, that is amazing! I love the color and the circularness (word??) of the pattern. Beautiful!
Posted by: Diane at July 11, 2007 11:57 AM
Cara, this is so gorgeous it makes me want to STOP EVERYTHNG and cast on for one myself! You are an endless inspiration!
Posted by: Ellene at July 11, 2007 12:09 PM
Blocking wires down the center: I don't think I've seen that before! What was your objective? Did it help?
You must be quivering in excitement and anticipation.

Posted by: Romy at July 11, 2007 12:58 PM
There's something pretty magical about seeing lace transformed into a filmy, drapey thing of beauty. It looks fantastic already ;-) Very inspiring, I might find the patience to attempt a big lace project myself one day ...
Posted by: Alison at July 11, 2007 01:05 PM
You take the. best. pictures.
And your knitting ain't so bad either ;)

Posted by: colleen at July 11, 2007 01:56 PM
I really hate moths. But I could get used to them if they were as beautiful as your shawl.
Posted by: Erin at July 11, 2007 02:13 PM

Posted by: Kim at July 12, 2007 07:57 AM
Love the shawl. Reminds me of a Luna moth. Is the post title a double entendre, perhaps? Oi, could be my over-worked brain overthinking things (again).
Posted by: Jenni at July 12, 2007 08:37 AM
Oh, *wow*. May your news be as good as this shawl is beautiful!
