Truthfully I'm a bit worried about the shawl. I'm not too far from the end of the pattern and it just isn't as wide as I'd like for it to be. I could easily continue the section I'm working now by just increasing the number of repeats, but I haven't decided if that is what I want to do. At any rate it has reached the stage where it is travel knitting. A little bulky perhaps, but an easy repeat to knit.
So what did I choose? The little lace bag from the cover of the May/June

When I went to add it to Ravelry , I discovered it was the 13th project. Good thing I'm not superstitious.
I'm using Lizbeth cotton thread in size 20 - color 684 Leaf Green-Lt. I have one ball and it may very well take two, but I thought I'd see how I got on with the pattern. It was a bit of a rocky start for me.
If you're wondering what I want with the bag or what I intend to use it for if I get it finished, put your mind at ease. I have NO idea. That's hardly the point with stringplay.
And speaking of "Piecework", the Jan/Feb 2011 issue is the 5th annual historical knitting issue.
Lots of good stuff. Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE Piecework?
