I'm really enjoying the knitting. I'm about halfway through the border on the Cameron. Right now, there are 720 stitches per round, so it's a bit pokey. It looks really lumpy and ratty though, doesn't it? I'll be happy when it's time to block it. That ugly-ducking-to-swan, before-and-after, sow's-ear-to-silk-purse magic thrills me (hopefully) every time.
I still haven't figured out how many stitches there are in the completed shawl. I've used nearly seven of the eleven balls called for. I generally use the "How-Many-Stitches-ARE-There-In-This-Thing" information to spur myself on in the final stretch when the twenty-some-odd feet of edging seems impossibly long.

Lumpy and ratty??? Woman are you mad? That looks gorgeous. You have me completely impressed.
It doesn't look ratty and lumpy! It looks airy and delicate and absolutely gorgeous!
People with stamina for lace amaze me. I'm a quick knitter, but not with a pattern like that. How do you do it?
