According to my calculations, after the last row there will be zero stitches and I won't work on the project ever again - wait, that's supposed to happen.
All jokes aside, I don't think I will ever finish this shawl unless I set a goal, so here it goes:

That's a little over a month. Fingers crossed!
Fingers crossed for you! Of course, I have a shawl I've been knitting for 3 years so I may not be the best cheerleader.
ReplyDeleteOooo that one is in my queue. Shawls seem to take forever to finish!
