Some people get their adrenalin kick from extreme sports or big heights or speeding or whatever. I got mine yesterday from this:

Main body of shawl done, 3/4 of border done. Look at what's left of the yarn. Parachuting is for whimps. This is the real thing.

Of course I ran out of yarn. But I'd rather run out of this particular wonderful yarn than find myself having knit the shawl and have left-over yarn. You don't get left-overs from cashmere. You use it all, and find some solution or another for the lacking 1/4 border. My solution was a bit of lace wool in shade applewood from handpaintedyarn.com. Double stranded. The handpainted is a different story. I'm sure I'll get back to that.

The "solution" is visible of course, but I don't mind, neither does younger girl:

details:

yarn: hipknits cashmere sock yarn shade pink/brown, this shade is only available from loop - I got it as a gift from lovely Kris! And only one skein - 500 m made this big shawl!(well, yes, at least close....)

pattern: triangles within triangles, downloadable version can be bought here.

needles: inox (the best for lace - the pointiest tip!) circular size 6 mm.

This was the second lace shawl I made. Here is the first one.

There will be more.
