changing up the color sequence
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 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.

no knitting means no mistakes (yet)
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.
Some weeks you measure your knitting in inches, and some weeks you’re ecstatic to knit 2 rounds.
This week was the latter. If you look really carefully, you can see a couple rounds of pink that weren’t there last week, but that’s about all that’s changed.
Except!
Shawl Geometry II is here!
It’s the second book in the Shawl Geometry Series, with complete instructions for 19 uncommon, unusual and unique shawl shapes.

Sneaky Friday fell off a cliff
So last Friday fell of the cliff into the ocean and sank to the bottom. I’m sure of it. It was Thursday, then all of a sudden it was Saturday. Because Friday is a sneaky one.
But two weeks meant there was lots of shawl progress. From this
to this.
A post about swatching, loving it, hating it, and taking the shoulds out of it.
I adore swatching, but I think that’s because I use it as a way to play and experiment with my knitting. I don’t see it as something I have to do, or something I should do. Swatching is just another tool to learn about your knitting. I don’t knit a million swatches for every project or design. Hell sometimes I don’t even knit one swatch before I start a design. Sometimes I just wing it, and hope that what I’ve learned from previous projects and swatches, (and the ability to rip it out if it goes wrong) will get me to the end of the shawl.
I also added a page outlining the Shawl Geometry Series of books. Shawl Geometry I, is here now. Shawl Geometry II is done and being made available to the people on the Announce! Announce! list this afternoon!Then it’ll be available to everyone next week. I’m getting ready to send The Map to test readers, maybe this weekend if I sit down to write the conclusion, and I’m getting ready to swatch for the Mutant Edition.
So if you want first access to Shawl Geometry II, sign up for the Announce! Announce! list here. Otherwise you’ll need to wait till next week.
