the lime green swatching interlude continues

Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.

This week has been filled with as much writing and swatching as I could possibly squeeze in, between clients, and teaching, and travel, and Easter things, and puppy snuggles.

This weekend I was up at my parents’ for a combination of Easter festivities, and a dentist’s visit. I spent most of the week, and the train rides that bookended the weekend, typing away at a steady clip.

Then I  spent my time this weekend swatching, and swatching, and swatching some more – at least, between eating a ton of food, and seeing a ton of family, and snuggling with the puppy dog. (I even took advantage of the ball winder I have up there – how I ended up with two ball winders, I do not know.)

Between last week’s swatches, and this weekend’s swatches my giant mason jar overfloweth with lime green swatches. And since I have to stop adding shapes to this update at some point – the end of this green swatch knitting interlude is close but not quite here yet.

no knitting, no sewing, but a new shawl pattern

Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.

What I’m Working On…

: no knitting & no sewing; I spent a long weekend at TNNA, and that includes much talking time & lots of driving time – which you would think would translate into lots of knitting – but there was none.

: I did pick apart & frog a friend’s sweater (the ends were woven in and everything) – it’s amazing how much more fun frogging is when it’s not your knitting.

: And then because the sweater was knit with two strands of yarn held together, we re-wound each ball to separate the strands (Theresa took a mesmerizing video of it.)

: Also!! The Gauge + Tension shawl collection is available! Come check it out on Ravelry!
