Okay, I'm calling it

My challenge:

I will complete the just-begun Tuscany shawl* that I'm designing for No Sheep, block it and write the pattern including the chart. This is the beauty that's being done in Handmaiden Silken.

And if I finish that before the 16 days are up, I'll start knitting Dulaan hats until I run out of silk.

*Yes, the shawl is on the needles already. So what? The challenge for me is to get it done in 16 days, make sure it looks good enough to publish and that the pattern is ready to go to the publisher. As each row gets longer than the last, you'll just have to trust me -- this IS a challenge. I haven't touched it since yesterday and I won't pick it up again till tomorrow night's cast on party.

Go Team Canada!
