My Sunday slow crochet.

I am still working on my UFO project no 4.  The baby shawl.
It is slowly growing. I have finished the centre, which took 3 balls of 3ply Big Baby (Patons). I use this yarn for all my baby projects. Either 3 or 4 ply...
Well I was glad to see the centre done.
The last few centre rounds took 1 hour but they are done

Now I am working on the lacy edge. It seems to be taking forever. I thought 1 hour for a round was slow but this edge is taking me about 3 hours. Of course I have to get up every know and then for a stretch and drink. So it is SLOW going. I need a total of 13 rounds...
Each lacy round takes me 3 hours

I'm linking up with Kathy for Slow Stitching Sunday. Even though it is crochet...

Nearly half way, Jo, only one more round and you are over the halfway mark on the lacy edge. It looks beautiful that's for sure.
