The Challenge: 12 shawls in 2012

If it wasn't already obvious, I have a thing for shawls.  I've decided to make it official and have joined the 12 shawls in 2012 group on Ravelry.  This might have been an easier feat if I had jumped on board back when the group was born as 10 shawls in 2010...but I think I'm up to the challenge.

Just in case a certain someone is scared that this means only shawls for 2012 Christmas and birthdays, rest assured that stoles - aka big scarves - also count towards the goal.

The rules:

All shawls must be started and completed anytime in 2012. The minimum requirement of meterage is 250 meter (ca 273 yards) whereas 2 must use at least 500 meters (ca 546 yards) of yarn. There are no upper limits to meterage if you want to knit 12 big shawls :) Any shapes will do - but no sleeves and cowls - and you can even be your own designer!  The minimum width requirement on scarves, is 10 inches, or 25 centimeters.

Here's to a year of wonderful knitting!

Does not count towards total.  Example of lacy knits to come!
