So with all of this running around, going places and doing things, have I even been knitting? Yes, yes I have. Just the one thing this past 2 weeks, but I have been knitting.
This is my Supernova MKAL from Ambah O’Brien. I’m about halfway through clue 4. When it’s done, the unfinished “arm” of the shawl will look like the other one. Clue 5 is picking up all of the edge stitches (over 1,000 of them!!) and knitting a border onto it. I’m still not thrilled about all of the yellow, but I like the rest of it enough to be resigned to it. Also, I’m definitely not ripping back at this point!
I’m enjoying this knit – it’s an interesting design and it is helping me get quite a few minis and a whole skein out of my stash, so that’s a win as well 🙂 Hopefully within the next week or two I will be able to finish up with this beast and move on to a few other WIPs, plus I will be casting on a new Halloween sweater this weekend!
How are your WIPs, crafty or not, coming along!
Quite A Yarn 
Cabled sweater is done. The lace shawl has to have some work done to it–tucking the ends in and resewing the border so it is more even. It kinda bunched at the ends so it has more ruffles than I’d like. The Fairisle sweater has LOTS of ends to tuck with 1/2 a sleeve to go. County Fair is August 2! Yikes! I’m entering all three projects in the county fair and then the State fair August 26. I’m anxious to see how it compares. As I recall, there were very few knitted projects at the fairs in past years.

That is quite the design! I’m impressed. I wonder what you could wear with it?

It is a very cool design! I wear a lot of black, which I think it would work with reasonably well.

The yellow is very bright, but it does fit the theme. I think it works better in the central starburst section than along the wings. (Then again, if it was on the wing section, it would be easier to rip out.)

Very true! At the time when I picked it and then knit it, I saw it as the bridge between the pink/orange going on in the center with the greens and blues toward the edges. And I think it does still work that way. But there is a lot of it!

Agreed, it does work as a bridge. Just a very bright bridge. 😉

Lol!! Right? You cannot miss this bridge 😉

Although it’s true it would be easier to rip out if it was on the arms!

Interesting about the yellow, you know I’m allergic to it, when it’s finished you can maybe wear it slightly off centre so a purple end bit could drape over the yellow to mute it?

LOL! Yes, I will probably do something along those lines 🙂

It looks great but picking up 1000 stitches would be a nonstarter for me!!

It was definitely worth it! Though that is a lot of stitches 🙂
