In between all my thinking about compulsive knitting, I completed the Garden Shawl last night, and blocked it this morning. Woo hoo! (Click the thumbnail for a pic - sorry it's pretty dark.)

The shawl is gorgeous. I had to laugh though -- you knit compulsively and in practically no time have a beautiful (and huge) shawl. I knit compulsively though a bit more sporadically, and I have 20 rows of a shawl! It makes me think I need to be MORE compulsive (which itself makes me laugh because somewhere out there are the thought crosses my mind, my husband is howling NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!)

Wow Wow WOW. Alison--I leave town for three weeks, come back, and you've cranked this incredible shawl. Totally knocked out by this. Very beautiful, and filled with things that make me go, Huh? How'd she do THAT?
As for compulsive knitting, I can't give you much help. I lost a project last week because I have so many things going on at once. Just lost it, have no idea where it could be. It's embarrassing: I'm not even that torn up about it because . . . I have so many other projects going.

If compulsivity leads to the creation of beautiful shawls, I say bring it on! I try not to turn on the TV when I knit. Of course, that's the advantage of having kids. I have to set a good example. :)

That is simply stunning. I am sitting over here in awe. Maybe someday such a thing is within my grasp? At the moment, it's hard to see it!
