First an update on DH. He was moved to a cardiac unit Sunday morning, he is looking better, he has color again, even the doctor commented on it :). He is able to get out of bed on his own, but they want him to keep that particular activity down to only when he needs to go to the bathroom because his heart rate is still high. Doc says maybe Friday he can come home. Is it Friday yet?
Many many thanks to the wonderful stitchers in the Pasadena Day timers, this is what the Little Knits GC ended up as:
Here's the PNW shawl in all it's glory, being stretched to within an inch of it's life. It's a big one, that is a double bed it's spread on.
And a close up for more detail:
Pattern: Fiber Trends Pacific Northwest shawl
Yarn: Sea Silk 2 skeins Colorway: Lily Pond
Needles #6
This one took me a little over a week and a half to finish. I really can't believe that's all it took, but I've been in a knitting groove this last week. The edging, all those shells, well 75% of those were done at the hospital. Still not quite sure how I managed to knit so much lace under so much stress, but there is the end result.

Woo Hoo! Congratulations! It's perfect, perfect, perfect! But I don't know if turquoise is the right complement for it...
So glad to hear that DH is doing so much better. And won't Friday be a great day when he comes home?
Congrats on the shawl. It's just beautiful. You and lace are quite suited - 10 days, wow. Gonna have to start calling you Speedy!
I'm so glad DH is doing better. Scary, and even scarier that we haven't heard from you. I'm thinking about you and hope you're both doing all right. The shawl is, as everything you knit, beautiful.
Oh good, prayers are working. That's great that your Husband is doing better. He has been through alot, so it is best that he take things slowly. Friday will come sooner than you think. Your knitting buddies are sending warm thoughts.
Beautiful!! And incredible that you finished it under those circumstances.
Glad DH is on the mend!
