I used Knit Picks "Shadow" in a discontinued color Campfire Heather

PiR2 Growing.

The colors in this shawl match much of the colors the leaves are starting to turn now. It will be a perfect Fall Shawl.

Progressing Pi R

Another section completed. I really like this simple lace design, but I can't figure out how to center it with the first one after the increases. It is simple math, but my brain won't wrap itself around it.

Gauge Swatch

Pi R 2
This is the gauge swatch I started with the Inox needles from Schoolhouse Press.
I love these needles they are very lightweight and they have just a bit of drag to them which helps to keep the fiber from slipping off too easily. The tips pick up the yarn easier than any other needles I've used in the past, including bamboo.
The bottom pic: I've pulled out the stitching to see how it will look when it's blocked or dressed as they say.
This is the size #8 needle, but I'm working it not as loosly as I usually do. I'm thinking a size #6 might be just the ticket.
