Warped and Ready

Warping up the loom is hard work! 
A lot of patience and a lot of chocolate gets the job done!  (I recommend high doses of both!)
I bit of hemstitching and I am on the way!
The weaving is so good.  This pattern is from HandWoven (budget bamboo shawl Sept/Oct 2009) using Aunt Lydia's Bamboo crochet thread.  I made one for me last Fall with an allover lace pattern but this time I am using the blocked lace option.  I like it!
Thank you , Benita, for pointing out that while I only have a few more rows to go on the lace shawl, it does mean that I have >16,000+ stitches to knit before completion!  In spite of these facts, I am knitting like a horse headed for the barn!
Is anyone joining in on the spinner's Tour de Fleece?!  Alpaca yarn is on my wheel.
