I'm completely stuck with this shawl:
Everything was going along great for the garter stitch part. Easy, mindless knitting that I don't have to use any brain cells to do. I love the color and the Everlasting Sock is one of my favorite yarns. I was zooming along and then...screech!
You add a knitted on border, which I love the look of, but I'm just stuck there. I'd love to think that I'll slowly but surely work on it and get this done and have a beautiful border to show for it, but I think I know better.
The truth is I just don't have the mindset right now to devote to looking at a chart and inching my way along for 400 rows. I need a lace border that is pretty but easily memorized so I can knit along row by row and have a finished shawl sooner rather than later.
So, I'll be tinking back these few rows and looking for a nice border pattern...any suggestions?

I'm Robin, the designer behind October House. You've found my blog, where I ramble on about stitching and sewing and anything else that catches my fancy!
I love quiet colors, gentle stitches and making things by hand.
