Argus Knitalong: Week 8

[laughingrat]

Hey, the two month mark! Wow, yay! Originally there was some discussion of maybe going to biweekly posts after this point; what do you think? People not in the KAL, do these posts make you wanna gouge your eyes out? KAL peeps, whether wrapping up or maybe just getting started, are these potentially-useful spaces for you?

As always, please share your comments, questions, complaints, squees, progress pics, etc.!

Mine is currently decorating the wall of my cube at work, where it harmonizes nicely with the color of the cube wall.

I noticed that even though I pinned the edge out in nice little points when I blocked it, it has lost those points--well, it still has vestigial points, but nothing like what it had. Still pretty though!

Yeah, I noticed that too...little points but nothing major. I wonder if I'd been willing to block the overall shawl smaller, if that would have freed up more slack for the points themselves?

The Seraphim shawl by Miriam Felton has a similar edge, but the points remained much more pronounced. I don't have that FO in front of me right now, but I seem to remember that she did an additional design factor that caused the points to be more prominent. In the stockinette sections of the edge, she also had centered decreases, so those sections pulled in more while the points naturally came forward. (I am hoping that makes sense!)

That did make sense, and sounds neat!
