This is a sweet little pattern with plenty of options. The shawl is crescent-shaped with mostly stockinette and a little bit of eyelet lace. This project is easy to pick up and put down . . . great for on-the-go knitting. I plotted out the pattern to fit the Mini Lucia Gradients.
My planning was on target, and I used up almost every bit of yarn.
I'll have the shawl on display this weekend at New Hampshire Sheep and Wool. You'll find me in one of the outside vendor areas.
I have an itch to cast on a new project. I don't know what exactly, but I've been resisting the urge to hop on Ravelry for fear of falling down a deep, dark hole. This week I've been bouncing back and forth between two shawls, but the allure of a fresh project is hard to resist. I'm in the midst of spring shows and really need to hold off on anything new until I get to the other side of this flurry of activity. And so I soldier on with what's already on the needles.
The pink project is growing, and that's a good thing. The pattern is Dangling Conversation in case you're wondering. I've tweaked the pattern to fit a mini gradient bundle I'm working with. I'm on the second skein of four, and I'm not quite sure how this will play out on the other end. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. For now I'm just enjoying the rhythm of the pattern and the subtle shift of colors. This week's color inspiration . . .
