Well, it was a busy weekend, and amongst the chores and errands, I managed to get a lot of crafting in as well!
I wound the yarn for my northern lights Throwback cardigan
Made a bunch of stitch markers – pictures of them at some point in the future 🙂
And otherwise, I just focused on my Water shawl. It really is a lovely shawl – the short row lace technique is really effective and pretty fun once you get going on it 🙂
I’m hoping to finish it by the end of March, and it’s starting to look like that might happen! Why by the end of March? Because another project will be starting for the Confident Knitting club from AC Knitwear, and also I have a new KAL starting, involving a 3D shawl design from Olga Buraya-Kefelian.
Quite A Yarn 
You are going to be such a busy beaver! 🦫 I really love the colors of your Water shawl yarn.

You just reminded me that I need to cast on those mitts from the first project. So much to do, so little brain power to do it with.

LOL! They are a quick little project – they work up fast 🙂

I really want to cast them on, too. I want to make something with my Perth. I tend to be such a monogamous knitter. OY.

That’s a good way to get things done! Do you have the yarn you are going to use for them?

I do. I just can’t seem to find the time to sit and knit to any great extent right now. I know things will improve, I just hope it is soon. 😦

Welp, it apparently I have shingles. Stressed, Regina? Just a tad. Apparently I have a high threshold for pain as well. I just can’t win. I did finish a project while I was home from work.

Oh no! I hope you are feeling better? At least there was some knitting time in it, though I’m sure you would rather have had it not under those circumstances!

I am over the hump, but WOW, were they painful. I don’t recommend them. Don’t get stressed!

Those northern lights colours are going to look fabulous on your sweater. We mostly see the green on the left in our skies here. I have only done one KAL so far and should maybe consider another, I have been trying to focus on my YOP list and some of the longer projects need attention or they’ll be carried forward another year. Maybe on my next list I will include a ‘join a KAL’

We mostly get green too, but we do occasionally see the others. Also the pattern calls for 3 colors, so I just picked some likely ones 🙂 KALs can be good or bad. I like KALs where you know what you are making in advance. MKALs where you are taking a gamble on the outcome have the possibility of being less fun 🙂
