Icarus Shawl update

No photos this time, because it's really hard to see the progress.  I am still working on the Icarus shawl.  I have two more rows to do in chart number 3.  I'm up to 377 stitches in a row, and I am adding 4 stitches every other row.  It takes me almost 30 minutes to do one row.  I figure that at the rate I'm going, it will take me at least another month to finish since I still have all of chart 4 to go.  I have not been able to knit more than 3 or 4 rows at a time, because my right shoulder starts to cramp.  Still, I am progressing.  I have not given up.

These shawls definitely get big fast!! It takes me half an hour to do a row as well.. and I don't think my shawl is near as big as that Icarus.

Good luck though - switching between working on the shawl and working on another project definitely helps though. Just keep going back to it.

You can do it!! **cheerleader rooting**
