Fly Away

I've been chasing my tail all week, but in spite of myself I came out on the other end with a finished object.

Fly Away.

I have a soft spot for stripes.  Add to that a bit of lace and a clever border construction . . . I'm easily entertained with so much variety.

The yarn is Lillian in Iris and Fog.  This is another good project to experiment with color combinations.

The season is short for local strawberries and rhubarb, so I'm trying to make the most of it.  This week's color inspiration . . . 

Pie in the making.

Changing Direction

I'm at the border with my Fly Away.

Back and forth, back and forth.  I'm knitting and attaching as I go.  It's a lot of rows but they're short, so the process is moving along at a good clip.  It won't be long until this shawl is off the needles.

Twists and Turns

I had a plan for today, but it seems to be running in reverse.  My afternoon tasks jumped to the morning, and the morning shifted to the afternoon.  I was fine with all of that, but then my daughter realized summer is here, and we had to finalize vacation plans.  Today.  

I'm pretty sure that's where things went sideways.  Coordinating all our schedules is not for the faint of heart.  When I saw the few available accommodations filling up before my eyes, I got right on it.  

Now that our getaway has been sorted, I can concentrate on the rest of my day.

I started this project last weekend when I was traveling.  I've enjoyed making a couple other things by the same designer, and this shawl has an interesting construction with some twists and turns.  That seems to be the theme around here, but I know how to roll with it.
