spinning, photography, recovery & secret projects
The shawl that got a couple inches ripped out has since recovered, and been put on hold
for a secret project I started knitting on I’d love to show you but can’t (but I love it and it’s beautiful).
So I pulled out some spinning one day so I’d be able to show you forward motion on something.
And I took the photos for this shawl collection, which I can’t wait to show.
something infinitely charming
Grabbed a picture of a swatch drying on the windowsill. As Gryphon put it “there’s something infinitely charming about this photo.”
The never ending bind off is finished. I used Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off, slow but surprisingly stretchy, and took breaks, lots of them.
I started the purple & grey shawl late last week and have been obsessed.
I’m working on the patterns for this collection of shawls.
I helped a friend move this week, and ended up with this vintage TV in the process.
In case you missed it I released Wafian last week.
bind offs, pattern writing, samples & swatches
Through the final stockinette section, and onto the bind off, of the never ending shawl. I’m using Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off, so it might take a bit.
Writing up the patterns for the pile of shawls on my desk. Though the grey & yellow shawl is Izar, and just likes hanging out on my desk.
Knitting sample returned. I love getting knitting sample back, because it gives me a chance to fall in love with the piece all over again. This one is the glasses case from Sara Barbour’s “Stitching in the Stacks.”
All the swatches! One for a shhhhh (secret) project. One for a shawl to work on once the never ending shawl ends. Some for a new Shawl Geometry Book. And the rest because even after two posts I still have more to say about binding off for shawls.
