Inching Along - IV: Allied Forces
Shaping up, I think:
Seeing it laid out like this, I got a little nervous about the proportions, so since taking that picture I’ve done another couple inches of fagotting. If I had a lot of time on my hands were a Really Good Person I would probably be doing some big broad curvy shaping at the bottom; as it is I think I’m going to let a little trick blocking solve the problem for me. Got just past the insertion last night and am now going to do a few more rows of fagotting under that and then… bind off. Oh frabjous day. I’m leaning now toward continuing the slightly heavier edging down the sides of the fagotting section after all; partly because I feel it will make for a better visual balance, but mostly because of weight distribution (it will still be fairly straight, following the existing contour of the edge, but I’m thinking I want the dagger beads for ballast). We’ll know soon - almost soon enough.
Meanwhile, as the deadline looms closer and the days get chillier, I wanted to assure you that my expert staff is rallying round me and contributing its share to the great work.

Yeah, that’s me under there somewhere….
It’s snuggling weather.

I think I would like to apply for one of the staff positions, please…either that or perhaps when I pass on I could come back as one of your cats…looks like good duty to me…
Beauty shawl - would the extra weight pull on the shape?

Ahhh, I can just hear the rumbling purring from here. . . .

I’m so excited to see it finished!
And also, I need to get another cat. I think that if it’s snuggling weather my Bella might be lonely at home without me. She needs a cuddle cat.
