WIP Wednesday- Why Not?

Now that I've gained some confidence in my ability to take pictures and move them to the computer in a relatively short period of time, I decided to give the 'WIP Wednesday' idea a shot. There is actually very little happening in the way of projects here, at least compared to usual, but I do have a little something to show off: the beginnings of the Shipwreck Shawl from Knitty.

 This is where it was at last Wednesday- and then it got ripped out and started on larger needles, because it looked like I was no where close to getting gauge. (Ok, there was a tape measure involved, too). I've had enough experience one particular experience of knitting at a much smaller gauge on lace than recommended, and while the scarf turned out beautifully, it was a much larger time investment than I'd expected...and I don't want to be working this repetitive border forever just to get a large enough shawl.

 And here it is, approximately where it's at now, well into the Madeira pattern.

Beads are yet to be purchased, but hopefullly will be soon- the endless yo, knit 2 tog border wouldn't be the same without them.
