I have slowly been working on my Water shawl. I finished clue #3 yesterday, 9 days after clue #4 was published.
This clue had some very scary intentionally dropped stitches.
The next clue has the option of adding beads, so I found some in my stash that look like they will work.
I am sprinkling them around the shawl to add a bit of weight to the bottom.
I swore I was not going to go to the big sale at the yarn shop this year, but I buckled under the strain.
5 balls of worsted wool and 7 balls of sock yarn. Isn't it pretty?
I am blaming this for my lack of knitting progress.
They look so innocent when they are asleep. They grab my yarn and the cable of my circular needle, when they are awake.
Gorgeous pattern and yarn, and some new wool to look at before the needles get their grip, and the tinies, how they have grown. Down here our Boris grabs everything he can find, and things turn up in some funny places,
ReplyDeleteLovely pattern, and gorgeous colour! Like the new yarns too. They look so innocent when they are asleep, don't they.....definitely not the same kitties when they are awake!
ReplyDeleteWater is stunning. Love the little munskins, sleeping so peacefully. What are you going to make with all those beautiful colours of yarn?
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the prettiest mystery shawls you've done, Kate!! Love the choice of beads. You'll have to keep this one for yourself.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shawl, Kate. You're the first post on TN&TN's WIP Wednesday this week! Excellent!
ReplyDeleteBeads will add a very nice finishing touch.
