Never Ending Edging

I’ve bee knitting on this shawl on and off for over a year now. Or maybe 20 years. That’s how it feels now that I’m working on the edging. Turns out the edging is HALF THE SHAWL. Good thing it’s pretty. And shiny. And the edging pattern is easy to memorize. Because otherwise? I would probably go mad(der than I already am) from trying to finish it.

I know that once it’s finished and blocked out it will look less like boiled ass lace and will be beautiful and look more like this.

But there is still so much left to go.

I haven’t even made it to the end of the first repeat yet.

::weep::

I think this shawl’s edging created the knitting black hole. I knit and knit and knit and I always seem to be in the exact same place.

*sigh*

Good thing it’s beautiful. And I like to knit. Though sometimes I can’t help but wonder just how much insanity there is in knitting.
