gathering it all together
A pair of hand warmers in laceweight cashmere.
These had been intended as a Christmas gift for my twin, as she has taken up photography, but clearly were going to be much too large for her little hands, so these are now for myself and she shall have some later…
Learning to let go, I pass my Swallowtail shawl on – and also the leftover yarn. Pondering what to do next.
A new Finished Object – my Kauni Rainbow version of the Swallowtail Shawl. This project has a long history – this is a long post!
“…The project went well, or so I thought, and it grew very quickly – but looked somewhat odd. I had knitted shawls before, but only tip-up, with a clear understanding of the increases and the way on which it was shaped. Trying to get my head around the centre-top, out-and-down construction was difficult. In fact, I adopted a wait-and-see approach, looking forward to the eventual surprise…”
Spinning day at my house. Tales of cake, of knitting, of crochet and of changing plans regarding WIPs.
Very little inthe way of spinning.
None. Actually.
A long tale of woe and stupidity, concerning the ill-fated Rainbow Swallowtail project. Amazingly, no profanity! Definitely more than a hint of tears…
Summary post: progress against the hit list and new targets for the coming weeks.
