   ...in which I realize I am an *utter dumbass* and managed to break yarn, weave in ends, soak, and get mostly through blocking Betsy's shawl before noticing that I somehow only made the final edging picots on one side, but not the other. 🤦🏻♀️

   At which point I swore a bunch and finished pinning it out to see how visible the difference was. (Answer: very.🙄) So my current plan is to unweave the end, tie back on - I thought about a Russian join, but I think the double thickness would be really noticeable in a picot - at the same place I left off, make the remaining picots, and then try to dampen just that edge and block just those picots. Realistic? I guess I'll find out... 🤞🏻

   On a brighter note, I started a [Memento Mori shawl](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/memento-mori-shawl) for my sister on the flights to & from the wedding visit, and at least *that's* going pretty smoothly! 💀
