A shawl panic, a poll, and a legal document

Let the record show that Eve is in a panic. She has 1.5 repeats finished on the SWATCH for the Myrtle shawl, and she has to finish the actual shawl itself in two (2) weeks if she wants to wear it to the garden party. This is so not happening. A shawl with lace in every row is never a good idea for a deadline, and she has decided to scrap it in favour of a faster project. To this end, she has prepared a poll and is requesting your opinion as to the best project to knit: Shetland Triangle, Japanese Feather Stole, Lace Dream Stole, a lace parasol based on Victoria, or Orangina. Results will be tabulated at the end of the weekend.
Exhibit A: An incomplete swatch for the Myrtle Shawl:
Exhibit B: A quote from Eve’s knitting blog in which she wrote the following:
As a way to ensure “accountability,” I want to post versions of this list every week (usually on Friday or Saturday), with updates as to my progress and lots of pictures. I also have something neat planned for June, which I’ll be announcing on Monday. Take care!
Let the record show that Eve can’t remember what she had planned for June, except that maybe it was a shawl she had decided to design herself but then realized she had no idea what she was doing. Let the record also show that she never posted list updates as she originally promised, thereby causing a breach of contract. In an attempt to reconcile, she has provided the following:
- Orangina (still only a swatch)
- Elizabeth Zimmermann Baby Cardigan (complete!)
- Rule 30 scarf for Dad (2.5 stripes from completion!)
- Felted Slippers (complete!)
- Dashing (complete!)
- Dragon for Liz (still waiting for a head)
- At least two shawls (one in green for the garden party, one in pink maybe), of the following: Wrapped in Tradition or Shetland Triangle from Wrap Style, Luna Moth Shawl, Japanese Feather Stole, Lace Dream Stole (from Shawls & Scarves), Myrtle Leaf Shawl (from Victorian Lace Today), or Victorian Lace Shawl (one of these I might work on in the next two weeks)
- A lace parasol based on Victoria from Knitty (maybe the next two weeks)
- A self-designed project (waiting)
- A Somewhat Cowl for my mom (swatched!)
- A cardigan or two, maybe? (waiting)
