Stage 6... or rather Row 6

Yesterday was full of crashes at the Tour, and I survived mine. Surgery was performed last night (meaning I went a head and just cut that skein off and started a new skein). That skein will just sit in the peleton until I need it, allowing it time to recover.

I have 6 rows done on the body of Fawne and I'm about to start the waist shaping. It's moving along well and I love the way the fabric is coming out. I'm very particular about my crochet projects... it's hard to find things that I like (I blame the beer can crochet hats from my youth) and I needed something next to skin soft (which is why I didn't use the kid mohair as called for in the pattern... I knew that wouldn't be comfortable for me).

However, I'm still on a roll with the Shoalwater Shawl:

I have less than 35 rows to go before I do the final border. I'm trying not to think about the blocking... as I have absolutely no idea where I'm going to be able to block it.

So I'll be working on both projects today and finish up class prep for tomorrow.

As usual, Matt will be racing tomorrow (Millport, near the Lancaster, PA airport), but I can't go due to teaching. So don't expect pictures. The team will have a good representation in the race. Best of luck guys!
