progress on my shawl and it&#8217;s because I sort of stalled out on working through the smaller sample\/prototype.\u00c2\u00a0 Not because I had come to a difficult point or had gotten stuck, but because I had lost it.\u00c2\u00a0 I had visited my parents in San Diego and then packed up quickly from there to leave for Seattle, but couldn&#8217;t find it in my bags when I got there.\u00c2\u00a0 I assumed I&#8217;d left it in my car, but after flying back to San Diego and then driving back up to LA I discovered I still couldn&#8217;t find it anywhere.\u00c2\u00a0 I recently visited my parents again and finally found it.\u00c2\u00a0 Sort of makes me look forward to eventually having a more stable living environment and actually getting all my tatting (along with everything else in my life) a bit more organized.\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.snapdragonlace.com\/?attachment_id=866\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-866\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-866

going to work out.\u00c2\u00a0 The point of doing this little sample is to see how the three pieces of the final shawl will fit together and to pick the patterns for the connectors and the border.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m leaving all the joins un-joined around <a href=\"http:\/\/www.snapdragonlace.com\/?attachment_id=865\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-865\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

actually fit together like the computer mock-up I made.\u00c2\u00a0 When I&#8217;ve finished making the last border I&#8217;ll tie the picots together in the places it makes sense and then use that as the basis for the final piece.<\/p>\n<p>I may get stalled again, because I don&#8217;t have much of the thread with me and I have another large project I&#8217;m working on that uses the same thread.\u00c2\u00a0 (I&#8217;ll post about this project soon.)\u00c2\u00a0 I own plenty of this thread, but like the rest of my life it is spread out on the west coast.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;ve got lots in Seattle and lots in San Diego, but just a little bit of it with me here in LA.\u00c2\u00a0 The other project is sort of a large Christmas-related project so I lean towards working on that just to keep from getting stalled out, but on the other hand, I&#8217;m so close to finished off this sample shawl that I&#8217;m eager to get it done.\u00c2\u00a0 We&#8217;ll just have to see which one I feel like working on this week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I posted about progress on my shawl and it&#8217;s because I sort of
