FO: Mariquita

SO!  Apparently now I'm just casting on and binding off fairly large projects with nary a word in between!

Annis [Rav] by Susanna IC; knit with less than a skein of Cascade Heritage Silk Paints in colorway 9942 Misty Blue

There were quite a few pattern modifications for this shawl:

• eyelet bindoff gleaned from another's brilliant mind
• cobalt 2/0 Czech glass beads on every S2KP on row 5 of lace repeat (29 in all)
  
• went up a size on both sets of needles (US9 and US11)
  

I discovered that nupps (done correctly this time, no cheating as before) are slightly easier to deal with if one uses a crochet hook, but they're still painful.  I'm now exactly halfway to meeting my goal of 12 shawls in 12 months for 2012... which means I totally need to step it up, since the year is more than halfway gone.

And here are a couple more photos, because I said so.
