There's been a bit of an explosion in new knitting projects - that's what I get for not letting myself start anything new for most of April. The evidence of the carnage is pretty apparent:
Patterns, needles, yarn, more yarn, beads, crochet hooks, fiberfil - it's everywhere. And that's just what's been started since Saturday. There's a shawl I started in April (even though I told myself not to)
Miralda's Triangular Shawl. Very pretty. There's something about nupps. Anyway, it's pretty much in the home stretch, but it's been put aside for now for all the other stuff. And maybe because I'm afraid that I'm going to run out of yarn.
Such pretty close ups. So it'll get done, sometime. I started another shawl, a big one. Magic Carpet Ride - but I'm making life hard for myself by attempting to enlarge it.
There's so many different little motifs and I'm on the third section of the pattern already - it's just complicated. But as written it's only 12" wide, and that's just a weird size, so bigger it needed to be.
It's going pretty well now, that chart with the beaded diamonds - oof - no rest rows, had to pay attention all the time, so it took forever.I've started another attempt at the Lucy Bag - I've got a good feeling about this one though. I'm farther than I've ever been, and I have motivation.
It's a nice change - simple knitting in the round, no thinking required. Good for knitting while watching TAR - had to put the lace down for that hour so I could focus.Progress on the socks is slow. I usually only work on it when I've got a spare minute at work (not often these days). But maybe one of these nights I'll sit down and focus on it.
Then again, I might focus on this indeterminate blob of blue crochet that I'm not going to tell you about.
Secret project. There's another one too - but I have to rework the design. It's not looking the way I want it to.
