So therefore I conclude: Sam:shawls as MOST knitters:sweaters.
But this really gets me in a tizzy. I can NOT make a shawl for my boyfriend. I don't even think gay men wear shawls, and he is NOT gay, in any way.
Look. It makes me very, very happy.

You know what does not make me happy? That lovely lace edging needs to be repeated about 70-ish more times. Ack. At least I don't have to bind off after that, though.
