Cast on 449 stitches and knit 8 rows.

That is where I am at on the shawl I am making for my sister in law (Sarah)for Christmas. Can you say BORING???? Oh well, this is the first shawl I have done from the long edge to the point. So I figure it will go faster and be more interesting as it goes along. The shawl is the “Stora Dimun Shawl” from the book Folk Shawls by Cheryl Oberle. I am using 40″, size 6 needles and Essential yarn from Knit-Picks in the “Dusk” colorway.
