I started this shawl in 2005 or maybe in 2004. Who's counting?
Kathy Baker from Nier Lake Farms saved the neck wool from her Shetland Sheep for two years until she had enough to take the fleece to Innisfail to have the yarn spun into 2-ply lace weight.I found the pattern for this wonderful yarn and started knitting.I got side tracked by other patterns and other yarns. The shawl rested. It sat on the shelf for years, patiently waiting. It knew that it would be brought out to be finished one day. That day came three weeks ago. Once I started working on it again, I realised how much I had done on it. I also realised that I could actually finish it in a reasonable amount of time. 
I think I'll go look through the shelves to see what else is there waiting for it's day in the sun.
