Who doesn’t like an almost FO?
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.
I’m THIS close to being finished with by brown and green shawl knit out of Plucky Knitter yarn.
I’m thinking just a couple more rows before the bind off. YAY!
While the colors on this second photo are awful, you can see the garter/stockinette detailing better.
And because of the garter/stockinette patterning, I think the back is just as interesting as the front.
I’ve spent the past week editing away on the Shawl Geometry book. I’m super excited!

Creative energy is up
But what would happen if you* knew that creative energy was up all the flipping time?
*in this post you really means me, and (maybe) you too but only if you want it to
What would you make? What would you create?
What would you put out into the world that didn’t exist before you?
And that wouldn’t exist without you?
What if you thought creative energy was always up?
And that the variable was you* not it?
*me
What if the variable in the equation
you* + inspiration + time = art
*remember, you meaning me, and you if you want it
wasn’t inspiration, or time, or creativity, or ideas, or your muse, or any one of a million other things? But rather the thing that changed and moved and shifted was you?
Then wouldn’t you* become the thing keeping your art from existing?
*me
And with that little bit of fortune cookie inspired musing I’m going to go knit so that I have a better chance of having a knitting based WIP Wednesday for you next week.

Knit, knit, knit
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.
I hit a point in every shawl where it just gets super boring to blog or talk about. The exact point changes from shawl to shawl, but it’s generally somewhere just past the middle.
Getting to the middle is relatively fast and easy and exciting because of NEW PATTERN! feelings. And it’s not quite the point where I’ve hit the final slog of the last repeat or two, where I just want the shawl done. It’s somewhere between the two where I’m just kind of “eh, ok” about the project.
I still love the yarn, and still love the pattern, but it’s the point where I know the design will now work out, the pattern kinks are all worked out, I can visualize what the final product is going to be, and now I’m just knitting…
and knitting….
and knitting…
and I kinda want to start something new.
Interestingly enough, this is also generally the point where I start casting about for a name. For this shawl I’m thinking maybe “Intan” which means diamond in Indonesian. Let me know what you think, or if you have another suggestion.
Speaking of starting new projects, I’m winding yarn to knit a second Kora.
It’s part of a KAL we’re doing over in my Ravelry group. Come over and join us. It’s a super low key knit along, but loads of fun. You can get the pattern here, and join the KAL here.
