Underway

So, I cast on the 375 stitches for Ene.

It took the better part of an hour, and for some reason, which I now know, the directions state to cast on with a double strand of yarn.

The reason for this is a) a looser cast on and b) more "girth" to those points at the bottom of the shawl. I fear I may have used HALF a skein for the cast on alone.

But the yarn is gorgeous...the color, texture, hand...though if I stab it the wrong way with the addi lace needle, it does have a tendency to split.

I'm about halfway through the first chart and so far, it is easy peasy.

Will keep on truckin'
