Stinky loves lace

Every time this Goddess Mystery Shawl KAL is out -( which has been a really long time) Stinky wants to sleep on it. As it gets bigger there is more space for him to get comfortable.Trying to take this picture was a challenge because he immediately pounced right into the middle and wanted to stay there. After this post I must remember to get that old afghan ( removed for wedding cleaning)that I had on his chair so maybe he will go there instead. Those nails can be hazardous to lace.
Now with this Goddess Mystery circular shawl the knitted- on edging was very advanced and overwhelming with provisional cast on and using another needle but with Ravelry forum and yahoo group I figured it out..sort of! After being about one third done I realized the second rows are supposed to be all purls . Reading the chart showed knits but the written directions must have said purl. DUH!!!!I am not one of those knitters that has the patience to pull days worth of work out when very ready to be done with this shawl. The garter border will work- right?.
With blocking this should look 100% better and maybe the incorrect border won't be even noticed. Just one more week of finishing up the border which takes forever even though pattern is memorized by now.
