Suddenly, we have fall weather. This causes many a knitter to fall prey to startitis. For non-knitters, startitis is the overwhelming urge to start lots of projects. I think there are two reasons for this: fall is high season for knitting, and knitters panic when they realize how close the winter holidays are and how little they've accomplished on gift-knitting goals.
I'm doing my best to resist startitis, but I must confess to casting on another pair of socks and a wrap, as well as winding yarn for two scarf projects. These are classic symptoms.
However, in my efforts to ignore the call of new projects, I've made good progress on the late-for-spring shawl.

I'm about halfway through the middle section, which is chart B. This is just under four repeats of the chart:
Chart B looks like lattice work to me. I like the look of it, but it seems like an abrupt change from the edging of chart A. If I were to make this pattern again, I'd try to find a design to put between these two for a more subtle transition.
Four more repeats and one round of chart C to go.
