MS3 and other stuff

Here's through clue 5. This has been great fun to knit. I love all the lace, just gorgeous. I'm not real keen on the wing - by itself, I love it, love the idea, I just don't care for what seems to be a very drastic change. I'm looking forward to the last couple clues, too, and hoping that the edge of the wing is real feathery.
I pinned it out rather hastily so it's got some wonkiness in the wing area.

Last Sunday was my daughter, Shannon's 17th birthday. I thought I'd be slick and make a layer cake instead of a sheet cake. Wish I could knit an edible cake instead of bake one.

and this evening we will be watching the first football game of the season (for us anyway). Steelers and someone. It's been such a busy day, I'm really looking forward to sitting my bootay down with some fooooootball & knitting!
