It is WIP Wednesday
Is there an echo in here? Why, yes, there is! For this week’s Work in Progress is an Echo Flower Shawl, which I am knitting in Gloaming from The Yarn Yard. This project is the third or fourth cast on that I have made with this ball of yarn and I think that at last I may have found the right pattern and yarn combination.
Echo Flower Shawl WIP - two thirds completed
My Dancing Shadows project began life back in March and went into hibernation while the Colourmart Lovers thing was going on. I took it back out this week as part of my August UFO-busting effort. This is my fourth UFO effort so far this month. When I put it away, I had five repeats of the flower body pattern done. (approx 20% complete)
The shawl version calls for 13 repeats – and 880 yards. I have 874 yards. It’s tight. I tried spreadsheeting but it is very difficult to calculate for the nupps. Overall, I believe that I shall cut it short at 12 repeats of the body chart and just be certain of avoiding disaster. I have completed 11 repeats so far. Not looking forward to the nupping. Feel free to cheer me on!
Completed this week: the Twisted Socks (Aug 13) and the Very Terhi mitts (for some values of complete – more of this later)
I shall be reviving the Rhytidome triangle next week, after this shawl is finished perhaps, but certainly by Tuesday as I shall be requiring a ferry project. (Unless I decide to get rid of that particular UFO by frogging. It’s on the cards.)
The remainder of this week will be horribly busy. I need to tame the craft room and attempt to unearth some items for the Craft Fair on Sunday. Mr L starts his hols on Friday and we shall be in DIY mode once more, with floor boards raised and paint cans open. You will realise that his plans and my requirements do not entirely mesh.
Blog service will resume at some point. There may well be FOs to share — but perhaps not this particular Friday.
