I haven’t been able to work on my shawl as much as I’d like to. Sometimes I go days without picking it up, but most days I work on it for a little bit in the evening, after 8pm. Unfortunately, some days by the time I put dogs out at 9pm and get them settled down, I’m ready to turn in. Those days when I could get up at sunrise and still be wide awake late in the evening are long gone.
Here is my progress so far. It will lay flatter and be a little larger when washed and gently blocked (no pinning needed). It is almost the same length as the cushion its on, which is 30 inches and I still haven’t finished the first skein of yarn. I was going for at least 60 inches long and 24 wide and from the looks of this, I’ll get the size I want.
Today was supposed to be the day we’d start on their shawls … but all the yarn has been delivered and several people have already started their shawls.
Here is a photo of Sandy’s progress as of today. I took this photo at the center where the knitting group meets. I believe Sandy is using a synthetic yarn for her project and it’s coming along very nicely.
She is way ahead of me, so I’d better get busy.
I’m sorting the yarn, winding them into center pull balls and putting bands on them. Some have already been picked up, the rest will be delivered on Monday or Friday or popped into the mail soon.
