shawl, yarn, and ideas
Super quick snapshot of my desk today.
In the center is the shawl I’ve been working on, being watched by the masquerade mask that sits on top of a pile of shawls at the corner of my desk.
Under that are two skeins of malabrigo lace (which I love using) for a new shawl.
At the bottom of the photo, notes for the third bit of the Shawl Geometry series.
And the post-it note peaking out of the corner, is just the beginning of a whole wall of post-it notes all filled with ideas and reminders.
Easter egg in a bad way?
I’m always working on some project or another, and most weeks I talk about what I’m working on Wednesdays as part of Tami’s WIP Wednesday project. You can see past WIP Wednesdays … right this way.
Yesterday I waxed poetic about color in shawls.
And the other night I started, yet, another one.
Not quite sure how I feel about it. I’m wondering if it’s a bit too Easter egg, in a bad way.
But I think if I come up with the right stitch pattern, and keep changing up the color sequence, it’ll stay away from boring ugly. fingers crossed.
Thoughts?

I finished up the shawl a couple days ago. Still needs the ends woven in, and blocking, but the knitting is done.
And it still kinda looks like a sea anemone.
But instead of starting another knitting project I picked up an old spinning project.
It’s a loop batt bullseye bump, with merino, corriedale, and angelina in it. It moves from the navy blue on the bottom right, to the lavender, to the marron-ish, then to a blue-grey (you can see a bit peeking out of the center of the ball of fiber.)
Though the giant ball of fiber isn’t super portable, so I’ll probably start a new shawl soon.
