All done...well almost


I cast off for my shawl today.  I was avoiding it all day.  I found things to do to prevent me from casting off.  All those phones call I've been meaning to make? Well they suddenly became very important.  Then I had to go to the grocery store to get some items for dinner.  Oh and I hadn't talked to my mom since Sunday so then I had to call her to catch up.  By the time I got off the phone with her it was time to make and eat dinner.  Have two glasses of wine with dinner? Well why not!  It's not like I was planning on knitting anything difficult tonight.  All the while my shawl was just staring at me.  I could feel it daring me to pick it up and cast off.  Can shawls emit feelings?  I'm pretty sure that this one did.  Well, after my two glasses of wine wore off I picked the shawl up to start casting off.  389 bound off stitches later and I have finally finished my shawl.  The only things left to do are weaving in the ends and blocking.  Hopefully nothing pops up that prevents me from those two items ;o)
