The stitches in Wedding Ring Shawl are downright teeny tiny. The stretchy merino yarn makes them easier to do, but I’m finding a new to wear the relatively recently acquired reading glasses to knit. Okay so I need them for threading the quilting needle and doing the beading as well. The eyes really do go first don’t they? Or was that the legs? 
Anyway, here is what WRS looked like last night shortly before bed. I spent my evening listening to the Red Sox lose using my new portable XM radio. Sadly, reception dropped off during the top of the 9th thanks to the awesome thunder storm that came tearing through. I’m not complaining as it also brought the end to the nasty heat wave. It is way more comfortable today.
That was approximately 26 rows into the 62 row repeat. Can you say long term project? :) For a better sense of scale, I took this picture with the fingers shown and the Chibi:
Still. In. Love.
Craft on!

The lace is gorgeous.
I have to use reading glasses when I do the fine lace, too. My eye dr tried me with the one contact lens for close up and one for far away but it gave me a headache. I told her I’m didn’t care and would rather wear the reading glasses. So far, just with tiny knitting.

So before you put your fingers in for scale, it really looked big and lots of progress was done. Now I can understand why you say a longterm project. It’s gorgeous though and I love the color.
