new projects are distracting
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.
This week had one really good knitting evening, and then a couple hours scattered here and there throughout the rest of the week. If I had spent that one evening working on the-not-easter-eggy-shawl I’d probably be done with this section of it and on a different striping sequence. But I didn’t.
I started something new instead…
Some garter stitch, some i-cord edging, some tosh merino light, combine to make a very delightful and smooshy shawl.
The-Not-Easter-Eggy-Shawl did get some attention.
But again, only a little bit here and there for a total 7 rows or so.
If you didn’t see it last week: Shawl Geometry II is here! It’s got 19 uncommon and unique shawl shapes to design and play with, and you can get all the information here.

Easter egg in a bad 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?

spin, spin, spin, wheeeeeeeeee!

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.
