Talk about 11th hour – just now (4.30pm on 4th Jan) I’ve blocked the diamond lace shawl intended for MIL whose birthday is on 5th. And I’ve taken a picture of it stretched out “properly”.

Also, I’ve (finally) finished Hey Teach. Pictures later, for reasons which will become obvious soon.

I *want* to make a new year’s resolution to finish off all my 90% done objects, but let’s just say I’m keen to clear the decks so I can start on stuff from the FIVE, count them FIVE knitting books I got for Christmas :o) :o)
update: MIL said “It’s lovely – it looks like lace.” As Gordon Ramsay would say “Laceweight shawl – done.” Not that I won’t be doing another one, given the success of this one…
