start of kimono shawl

this is the last of the unfinished projects i'm working on right now...this one will definitely not be finished for the holidays!! think i'll be dropping an iou in the mail for this one...i'm hoping to be finished before a month after the holidays...i do have a long flight coming up...that will help for sure!

the end product will be this kimono shawl from folk shawls...

except that i'm using a very different kind of yarn...unfortunately, it's a little hard to work with...it's my first time with a really fine yarn and it's slowing things down quite a bit since the yarn is hard to pick up...

this is what i've done thus far...well plus 5 rows or so i did while i was doing laundry...it's mostly the garter stitch border...
