Coming Up Next
I’m always working on some project or another, and most weeks I talk about what I’m working on Wednesday evenings as part of Tami’s WIP Wednesday project. You can see other WIP Wednesdays … here.
There are currently three ideas fighting for the spot of next to be cast on.
These two skeins of Tosh Merino Light want to become a large sweeping shawl which incorporates two alternating stitches of some kind.
Three skeins of Plucky Knitter here. Two “Sticky Toffee” in Traveler, and one “Chlorophyll” in Primo Finger. Wanting to be a garter stitch square shawl with a slit from the center to the hem (same shape as Spider Silk) with a striping sequence and strategically placed stitch motifs throughout.
The final idea is one skein of Tosh Merino light that I want to make into a shallow triangular shawl, maybe with eyelet rows every now and then. Keeping the overall design simple.
Of course there are tons of other skeins also shouting “cast me on, cast me on.” These just happen to be the loudest. Have an opinion? Let me know!

Very Beginnings
I’m always working on some project or another, and most weeks I talk about what I’m working on Wednesday evenings as part of Tami’s WIP Wednesday project. You can see all my WIP Wednesdays … here.
I cast on a new shawl yesterday while killing time between meetings.
I always think shawls at the itty bitty stages of being look cute when they’re so tiny. This one is only about 3 inches in diameter so far. It’s a little finicky to knit at the moment, but it’ll get less finicky as the shawl grows.
I’m still working on my first shawl of 2013. But I’m close enough to see the ending, even though there’s a lot of knitting between now and then. I’m through the huge mesh section (if you follow my on twitter, you already know that), and back into the stockinette, right before a final mesh boarder.

1st Shawl of 2013
This week I’m working on a new shawl design (the 1st one of 2013) using Unplanned Peacock Studio’s yarn.
I’m using the 100% superwash merino, in “slate” and “robin’s egg,” and it is beautiful. The yarn is soft, and the colors play beautifully off of each other. I’m using stockinette and lace mesh, combined with a simple ombre stripe sequence to really show off the yarn (and keep the knitting simple.)
I did bind off the red shawl on New Years, and I’m hoping to block it soon. Maybe it’ll be my FO this Friday? But that might be pushing it.
