The Bat Shawl

So, I'm working on a triangle shawl, and it's my second attempt at making this thing. The pattern is from the Anticraft webzine, but there are errors in the pattern itself. Fortunately, the designer, and a number of others, have attempted to work through those errors, to correct the problems--but the pattern itself has yet to be updated on the Anticraft 'zine (due to the editors of the zine being caught up in real life stuff, mainly--other things have taken priority).





So, I'm playing around with my new digicam, trying to figure it out. I think i have succeeded.


These are my subtle brown bats, using Knitpicks Gloss (sock weight), in the Serengeti colorway. This yarn is a 70% Merino wool, 30% silk blend, and feels absolutely wonderful. I'll be starting the fifth row of bats, probably later today, and after that, the insanity of the border shall begin. That's where most of the problems with this pattern are located, so we'll see how it works out.

I'm off to go play with my camera now. *lol* I'm on Ravelry, and need to upload some pictures to my stash and projects pages.
