More Monday Mumbling

Well, the good news is the Wandering Ball of Cotton turned up. After having trying all the obvious places, and then all the unlikely places, it finally appeared once I'd given it up for lost and stopped looking (of course!) tangled up in a shawl on top of a chest of drawers in the bedroom. Not somewhere I was likely to expect to find it, but at least I have it now so the sweater is now a back, a front and the cuff of the first sleeve.

Today's main task, however, is to start writing up the pattern for my largest shawl so far. Inspired by Shetland lace stitches, this monster stole is longer than I am tall (although, to be fair, that's not that difficult, being as I'm 5'3" on a good day!) and uses over 1300 yards of laceweight yarn. I'm hoping to get it into the testing stage by the end of the week, so I need to get cracking on charting the lace and writing out the instructions needed to blend all those lace stitches together. 
In the meantime, here's a peek at one part of the finished item.
