Swatches and Shawls

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 … here.

There hasn’t been a huge amount of knitting time recently, but even so

the pile of example swatches grows,

and I started a new shawl.

Things & Ideas

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 other WIP Wednesdays … here.

THING(s) have been moving and IDEAS(!) have been brewing lately. (Which is great, because there was a bit of stuckifyedness there for a bit.)

(Don’t worry, there are k2togs that go into that chart. I “sketch” by charting out the pattern with yarn overs, and adding the decreases in later, this chart isn’t quite done yet.)

And charted.

Progress in 10

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 other WIP Wednesdays … here.

I usually work with tiny yarn on tiny needles, and it usually takes awhile to see much progress. So I think this sweater is a little magical. (This is the sweater that I inherited from a friend who was just over it.)

I can knit for 10 minutes and complete more than part of a round. Especially now that I’m working on the sleeves, and a round takes about a minute.

The plan is to work about 6 inches of black ribbing at the end of each sleeve. Then pick up and knit up one front, around the neck, and down the other front, knit a couple inches to make a band/collar, then add a chunky zipper.

Maybe I’ll finish in time to wear it this year.
