lace cables and garter stitch
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’ve been working on a couple projects the past couple weeks. None of which have been the posy and celedon shawl. But all of which have seen lots and lots of progress. I haven’t had a lot of time to knit, but when I was able to carve out a chunk of time, I focused primarily on a shawl you haven’t seen yet.
It’s a circular shawl with a lace cable pattern, knit out of the Verdant Gryphon’s Eidos in “fenris” and “blinding polyphemus.” Once it’s blocked you’ll be able to see the patterning much, much better. That’s the magic of blocking. And when I wasn’t working on that,
I was working on a fabulously simple garter stitch shawl in Tosh Merino Light. It’s soft and squishy and delightfully mindless (but not boring.)

changing up the color sequence

I’ve been focusing on the big non easter egg colored lace blob this week.
Which totally paid off because I finished this section of the shawl!!! Wheee!
Finishing this section means changing up the color sequence. I’m not exactly sure what it’ll be yet, but I’ll play around with a couple options and come up with something or other.
The green side to side triangle got a couple more rows since last week but not a whole lot of attention.

new projects are distracting

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.
