WIP Wednesdays

Three yays for fabulous, easy knitting.

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 started a new shawl, and it’s not even my pattern. Which means I don’t really need to think about what I’m doing, or right down any pattern instructions. Because the pattern’s easy, and already written, and written beautifully, so all I need to do is follow the stinking thing, and not mess it up. Which has been going marvelously (except for that bit where I forgot to keep track of what I was doing, and royally screwed it up, and then had to rip and reknit this morning, oops) apart from that it’s been fabulous. yay!

And on US 7 needles and worsted weight yarn, it’s a super speedy knit. yay!

The pattern isn’t out yet, because this is a sample knit for a friend, but I’ll be sure to let you know when it is out. Because it makes for fantastic knitting. yay!

the work in progress that wasn’t worked on

Poor shawl. It’s sat in it’s project bag, and ridden around in my purse all week, but it hasn’t been worked on.

It didn’t even want to come out to take a photo.

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.”
