Might Make it to 12?

So I have 3 shawls totally done. (Kora, Eirwen, and Ponycorns & Rainbow Fragments,).

I have 2 shawls done, but I just haven’t talked about them. (The top two.)
And 4 shawls waiting to be blocked. (The bottom four.)

1 shawl on the needles.

That makes 10.

Which is only 2 away from 12.

Which is awfully close.

Maybe I see 2 more shawls in my immediate future.

12 Shawls in 2012 Progress

In my last post I talked about finishing one final shawl before the end of the year, and I mentioned having no idea of how many shawls I’ve completed this year. And since I don’t know how many I’ve completed, I can’t know how close I am to my goal of completing 12 this year, (I finished 11 last year). So it’d probably be a good idea to count them, huh.

Well, that’s sobering. But here’s the (kind of) embarrassing part:

I have 4 shawls waiting to be blocked. And 2 shawls that I just haven’t talked about. Yea…

I guess I’ll be frantically blocking shawls over the next couple weeks.

One More Shawl?

Can I finish one more shawl in 2012? I’m not sure how I’m doing with the goal of finishing 12 shawls in 2012. I get the feeling it’s not going great, but maybe I can still add one more to the pile.

The yarn is Anzula cloud in the colorway “boysenberry,” knit on US size 5s (3.75 mm) needles.

The shape is going to be a larger version of this swatch, with lace in the center section, and a large lace border.

I’ve been working on a series of swatches demonstrating different types of shawl construction. Mostly just so that I could have a library of them for reference, but it’s occurred to me that they would also make for a great blog post about different shawl constructions. Would anyone be interested? If so, leave a comment, email me, find me on Ravelry or Twitter and let me know.

So, it’s after midnight, this WIP Wednesday post is (a little) late, and the photo colors are no where near accurate, (must try to start getting photos before the sun goes down) but that’s all for this week.
