Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live and laugh,
Laugh and love
Live and laugh at it all!
So live and laugh,
Laugh and love
Live and laugh at it all!
OK, let's recap...
In the beginning...
was the cherry tree
which bloomed and brought forth...
the cherry
which inspired...
the pattern
which needed a suitable yarn to dance with...
(Pay attention boys and girls, cause this is where it gets interesting.)
A comely lass named Chris answered my plea with...
two big cherry bombs
(Grandma's Blessing)
which turned into...
several juicy yarn cakes
which knit up into...
this!
Yesiree Bob! Cherry Country Shawl is coming along nicely. Not a single problem...
HAH!
Last Friday, before eight hours on the bus to Stitches, it looked like this:
n Sunday, after eight hours on the bus, it looked like this:
What do you mean, you can't tell the difference!
Clearly, the second picture is two rows further along.
Two rows.
Two stinkin' rows
Two measly rows
Two "I had sixty rows on this baby and discovered an error on the ninth" rows
Back to the drawing board.
Ya know, it would help if I could decipher my own notes.
So today, I have finished the opening border (finally) everything lines up (nicely) and I can proceed to the main body (gratefully)
As soon as my cramped little fingers uncurl.
Because...
Life is just a bowl of cherries
With no pits.

That's coming along beautifully, Susan.
I know how frustrating the lace process can be, but the results are amazing. *Your* results are amazing. The wait for just the yarn was definitely worth it. :-)

Your border is bee-yoo-tee-ful!
I love cherries & I love the cherry shawl! Can't wait to see the pattern after the border.
Wow, sigh - it's certainly a process to go through, isn't it! Will be worth it in the end - it's just gorgeous.
but it is so pretty. The color is perfect.
that border looks great! I can't wait to see how the rest of it comes along...
Wow - the yarn is truly amazing and the pattern is perfect!! This is on my "must have list".
It is looking gorgeous so far and Chris's yarn is just wonderful to work with. It's a win win!
Oh my. Nothing more frustrating than ripping something like that. What you have is beautiful though! Keep at it!

I think it looks great so far! Keep track of those rows! Lace can be such a PIA!
As the others have said, the lace looks gorgeous! I don't think I have the patience for lace work...I know that "Oh man I'm on row 5 billion and just noticed a major error on row 3" pain... Can't wait to see more pics of your progress!
Wow, that is a beautiful pattern so far, dear. It's been fun to travel on this journey with you!
The shawl's looking great!
