My shawl work is crawling along…
Here’s where I’m at….
The pattern calls for 16 repeats of two charts, but this is for a child instead of an adult… so I thought I’d go with 8 repeats. Then after bouncing that idea of the shawl queen Grace, I was going to do 6 repeats… well… this morning with 5 complete, I measured it on the big girl.. and I am going to stay right here at 5. The picture of course is in it’s unblocked state and looks like it will be a circle instead of a rectangle.. but we pulled it out this morning and stretched her long.. and she will definitely be a rectangle… a really wide one for a little girl (oh the lessons learned on my first true lace project)… but the big girl really loves it and can’t wait to see it all pinned out tonight! 
Thank you so much Grace for being an ear and listening! 
Now.. back to my knitting and prepping my house for 7 visitors this evening! EEEGADS!

Well you know I am partial to hearts so I love this pattern. I may just have to ask you more about it when your life calms down again. Will that ever happen?
I can see your smiles already for your Big Girl.
