I bound off the Curlew Shawl today. I've left my notes in the other room, so I will have to update again in the future with more details.
I used Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off to keep a stretchy edge.
When I went into my craft room to set up for blocking, I realized another shawl I'd finished a few months ago still needed to be blocked - so the Curlew Shawl will have to wait its turn (maybe next weekend?).
On to the next project!
I pulled out some of my oldest yarn - Blue Heron Yarns in Bamboo Lace. Label indicates color way is Blueberry (but this is some seriously purple yarn - no blue in sight) and that this should be 1260 yards. That's .... a LOT. I am going to swatch on US size 5s and am considering the Calandra Shawl by Tammy Bailey. I can't seem to find the pattern online anywhere except Rav*lry, so be warned if you search for it.
