future fried brain knitting mishaps
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’m always amazed I make more progress something when I’m a) only working on 1 project, and b) actually spending time knitting. Who knew.
I’ve been alternating working like crazy to get Shawl Geometry II ready, and episodes of West Wing + knitting when my brain is too fried to function.
At this point I’m really glad I chose a very logical stitch pattern for this shawl, but am still keeping an eye on the chart, hoping to prevent any fried brain knitting mishaps. Of course now that I’ve said that…
Anyway, I’ve been working on getting Shawl Geometry II ready to release. It’ll be available next week, but I’m offering it to everyone on the Announce! Announce! list Friday while I finalize the last bits and pieces of the sales page.
If you’re interested in getting Shawl Geometry II first, sign up here.

shawl, yarn, and ideas
Super quick snapshot of my desk today.
In the center is the shawl I’ve been working on, being watched by the masquerade mask that sits on top of a pile of shawls at the corner of my desk.
Under that are two skeins of malabrigo lace (which I love using) for a new shawl.
At the bottom of the photo, notes for the third bit of the Shawl Geometry series.
And the post-it note peaking out of the corner, is just the beginning of a whole wall of post-it notes all filled with ideas and reminders.
Hello Friday
It’s Friday again. And again, I don’t know how that happened or where Thursday went. Oh well.
- a post about crescents
- the Conclusion of the Shawl Geometry blog series

- got Shawl Geometry II edits back.
- lots of spinning
- work-ey things
- lots of brainstorming, and therefore a wall of post-it-note ideas
- the end of the month (goodbye July, hello August)
- updated and cleaned up the pattern page. (go browse, get patterns)
Next week there will be:
- more work-ey things.
- a post color in shawls
- editing Shawl Geometry II
- more spinning
- I still need a new knitting project
- small updates to things.
I’m playing with a (non sucky) Friday ritual.
I’d love to hear any thoughts or ideas, your Friday ‘rituals’ if you have them. You’re totally welcome to look at your week, past or future, here (or on your own.)
But either way, be nice, and I’d rather not have shoulds. ie. “you should…”
