Just a quick post with an update on my Aeolian Shawlette. I am about 30% done. It is a straight forward pattern. All confusion has been of my own making (as per usual).
A quick block of half the shawlette:
The transition chart is complete. I am hopeful that I have enough yardage to add a Agave repeat. I have made some calculations that support this hope. If I am wrong, I can resort to the Alternative Narrow Edging (rav link) which is pretty frakkin' beautiful. Worthy of a second shawl.
I have not added beads. I've been thinking I'd add them to the edging, but that idea is waning on me. I think I want to celebrate how whisper light the shawl will be. Maybe the next one.
I'll leave you with a picture of my silly boy.
Sammie really needs to learn how to relax!
Sammie is a role model for us all to emulate!

Poor thing. He looks so tense... :)

I'm still dithering whether to cast on Aeolian or Maplewing next. Not that I'm allowing myself to cast anything else on until I finish something, but still... I want both. Now.
I'm always hesitant to add beads - I can imagine a clicky-clicky noise that would drive me nuts.
I adore Sammie!

It's gorgeous. I think both edgings would be beautiful.
Gayle -- beads don't make any noise when on, but it does help the shawl drape an eensy bit better. But I agree, Maia, celebrate the lightness.
