DD had started this one and has a much looser tension than me, so despite trying to take this into account when changing needles, he still ended up with baggy trousers! (actually I quite like them)
Also off the needles is my Pi shawl, just needs blocking now - if the weather ever cheers up enough for anything to dry I'll do it, but in the meanwhile here is an unblocked picture
I tried several different lace borders, but after knitting, frogging and reknitting umpteen times I still couldn't find anything that looked right to me so eventually I settled on EZ's garter stitch with semi icord, which does the job - though I'm still not 100% convinced.

What cute dolls and one amazing great shawl - will you promise to model when it's all blocked?
The shawl is really beautiful, even unblocked and I suddenly get the urge for a jam sandwich - Robinsons of course!
I knitted EZ's shawl and added a border from Mary Thomas' book of patterns. The picture of me on my blog shows the finished product. www.dilettantesdilemma.blogspot.com
Talk about a labour of love!
