Wednesday Friday Mashup

It’s not Wednesday or Friday, but I have an FO/WIP mashup.

I’m busy working on swatches for the planned Shawl Geometry II. A bunch of the swatches are done, but there are still some more to go.

The current plan is to have Shawl Geometry II focus on subtracting from and dividing basic shapes to get new shapes, and then have a Shawl Geometry III that focuses on adding onto the basics. But that plan might change/get added to. Because Shawl Geometry II & III certainly weren’t in the original game plan.

Here’s the info about Shawl Geometry.

So instead of an FO tomorrow I think I’ll be talking about either why I knit, or the mess that comes from being a maker and trying to distinguish the “what I am” from the “what I do.”

playing with playing and swatches

I’m always working on some project or another, which means I often have FOs and new designs to share. You can see all my FOs … here … and all my designs … here.

 

They’re back…

I had hoped that even more swatches would be the final round of green swatches. But I guess that was not to be.

I’m exploring the idea of a Shawl Geometry II, (and maybe a 3). Taking the ideas and the shapes in Shawl Geometry even further.

So I’m playing with

  • increases and decreases
  • turning things on their head
  • shifting lines and shapes
  • cutting shapes in halves, quarters, thirds
  • varying degrees and angles
  • new ways to make old shapes
  • and playing with playing

Playing with playing. I think I like it.

 

You can learn more about Shawl Geometry here, and here.

future FO

I’m always working on some project or another, which means I often have FOs and new designs to share. You can see all my FOs … here … and all my designs … here.
but this project is a future FO not a right now FO.

 

Almost finishing something obviously means I get to start something new.

Right?

The colors are a little bit teeth-rotting-sugar-candy-sugar-colored, but that’s what I love about them.
