Science Experiment - Finished!

While I was letting my subconscious mind work on the question of what to do next on my Joy to the World project I focused on finishing up my Science Experiment shawl, completing it on December 16.  After finishing up 3 repeats of pattern B I switched to pattern C and worked the rest of the shawl in that pattern.  I didn’t quite work 6 repeats of pattern C, finishing on row 12.  When I bound off all the stitches I had about 1 foot left of color 25.  I love it when I use up all of my yarn, and win at yarn chicken.

Blocking took me a bit longer than I thought it would. And used up most of my blockers.  I ended up blocking the lace edge straight.  It just seemed to want to do that.  I absolutely love the gradiance of this set.  It is just so perfect, and goes so perfectly with the theme of the set - the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram for categorizing stars.
