The stockinette-stitch body of the Icarus Shawl.
I knew what I was getting myself into after looking at the charts and photo. I’m knitting this for someone else, who only likes a little lace. Knitting with the recipient in mind, I think the edges/end of the shawl offer just the right amount.

Indulge me as I stretch out the knitting to show you I’m finally at the good stuff.
My inspiration to finish? Joyousknits finished Icarus Shawl here. It’s gorgeous!

    What a pretty color! I think I was drawn to this shawl because it wasn’t ‘too lacy’ as well. We’ll just have to forget about the st st bits! :)
