In Knitting News...

I have progessed on my shawl, after some frustrations. I am now on size 9 needles and have started the 3rd lace pattern. I did have some issues making the transition between lace patterns this time. In fact, I had to frog back to the beginning of the lace pattern 3 times before I got it right. But I think I've got the hang of it (the pattern itself is deceptively easy) and I should be able to push through to the end of the shawl, uping the needle size as I go. I'm about half way through the 9 skein and have the 10 skein with me, ready to start. I will need to dig out my 10.5 needles tonight to make sure they are some place I can find them easily (like my knitting bag) and I think I may need to make a trip to Suzoo's or the Yarn Lady this weekend to pick up the 10.75s and 11s.

Well that was painful

Does anyone know what happened to LJ over the last hour? I started trying to access the site around 3pm and I finally got in just now.
