HALF WAY DONE

At almost 400 tiny stitches across each row
(about 20 minutes per row),
and ripping out so many rows that I made errors on,
I finally reached the half way point.
Woo Hoo!!!
Days 9, 11 & 12 brought in some wonderful forestry greens...
and then Day 13 thru me for a real loop with a very pale grey,
 but a pleasant surprise of a new tapestry needle.
Because I haven't blocked this half below, 
I had a really hard time laying it flat enough for it's photo.
But at least you can see how those greens worked in between the white and black which I loved.
And here you can also see the pale grey next to the white.
It's easier to see the difference in the photo then it is in person.
The very bottom is so sweet 
but in this pix it's hard to see the detail 
of the black bobbles along the edge. 

There was a real surprise for me at the bottom edge.
Amanda of Buku Yarns only had us bind off 1/2 of the 400 stitches.
The rest remain live on a cord to be knit together at the very end
 of the second half of the shawl.
Sounds pretty darn cool to me!
