I actually did get some knitting done, and the Litha Shawl is making great progress.
It’s getting quite long, and it knits up really quickly–I’m hoping to finish it by next weekend.I love the stitch pattern I’m using, it reminds me of armor–both strong and delicate.
The only question I have now is should I add a lace border to the end, or fringe? I’m not usually a fringe person, but I’m thinking it would really work on this. I’m afraid another lace motif would be too busy, and fringe would also remind me of the rays of the sun, which is fitting.

I think that fringe would look really nice. I agree that a border would be too busy. It’s a really great reminder of the sun!

I think some plain~ish lace edging. The fringe could make it look a bit heavy for the pattern. Looks good!

if you have acces to it, take a look at nicky epstein’s knitting on the edge. lots of great ideas there.
