Up and running

I was able to cast on for the shawl yesterday. I wanted to wait until I had some hand dyed available to use, but couldn't wait any longer to get started. So far I am loving the shawl. I have completed chart A and am on row 15 of Chart B. I am still new to lace knitting and gave it a go last month. I failed miserably in that it was a German pattern and trying to translate it, figure out the mirrors, and being new to lace...well, let's just say it wasn't pretty. I am glad this pattern is easy to understand. Hope to post pictures later on.
