Interrupted knitting

I’ve almost finished the shawl!P1140067I’m playing yarn chicken with the bind-off praying there will be enough.

And then my daughter in law informs me that she is having a baby lunch for the new baby – I guess it’s a shower. She wants the center piece to be the knitted fox I showed her.P1140069Adorable isn’t he?  I thought I had more time, so the shawl will wait.P1140068This is a new construction for me. It is going quickly, so I’ll be back to the shawl soon.

Well since the fox is moving along quickly, I decided it’s ok to finish the shawl.P1140081Bound off and ends woven in. I knit the ends in as I add the new crescents, but I then go back and weave them in again in the opposite direction – just to be on the safe side.P1140080Here is it on the blocking surface, before I washed it and pinned it down. When I washed it in Soak, the colors did crock, but they didn’t bleed into one another so I feel all is good. P1140083And here it is blocking. The friend who gave me the yarn stretched hers out long and narrow. I figure that that will happen naturally while wearing, so I tried to block it as more of a triangle. We’ll see what it looks like when I remove it from the blocks. Right now it has a long way to go to dry out, so the final reveal will have to be another post.
