Heading into the Pyrenees

Okay, so today the Tour is a nice flat stage perfect for a bunch sprint at the end (however, a break will get away and spend most of the day out on their own, then the sprinter's teams will reel them in just before the finish so the big thighed sprinters can duke it out for a stage win and some green jersey points.)

However, here at chez Park, I'll be heading up my own Pyrenees... I've hit the tough part of Fawne. I'll be attaching the sleeves to the bodice then doing the shoulder shaping.

I'm pretty excited with how Fawne is turning out. While I'm using an inexpensive acrylic yarn, I have to say that the softness and drape is fabulous! The color is sharp and I think this is going to be one sexy little top when completed.

Matt and I had a little disagreement yesterday on how I should block the Shoalwater Shawl. Ya, like I would tell him to use tubulars or clinchers. Hrumph! When did he become a knitting expert? Oh, I guess about the same time I became a cycling coach (heehee)!

Either way, I think I'll try doing a pin out on Shoalwater today... finding someplace dog free and large enough to pin out this huge shawl is the challenge (especially when we have hardwood floors).
