On The Needles - Jan. 17, 2014

It's been a bit since I've posted anything about my knitting since I've been busy quilting and piecing lately. But I have made progress on my 3S Shawl and the end is near.  I'm up to 10 inches and I think I'm going to stop around 14" or 15" if my yarn lasts that long.  Then it will be decision time to decide what type of edging to do -- a picot  or a crocheted lace.  Those of you that have done this shawl, which did you do and why.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. What is the easiest for a beginner. I want this to be done ASAP! I'm ready to tackle socks, but have held off until I finish this.  I don't want lots of UFOs in my knitting bag like I have on my quilting shelves.

3S Shawl
I'm also using up my stash of cotton yarns for dish cloths/face cloths that I got hooked on last year. They go so much faster than shawls because the needles are larger and size is so much smaller plus they are easy.  I need to have a finish to keep me motivated whether it be knitting or quilting. 


A couple of finishes this week in the quilting category.  These were not my UFOs, but they do count as finishes on my To Do list.
