Knit & Knag Designs

The Mystic Supernova KAL is coming along.  This week I released clue 5 (out of 6), so it’s really getting closer to the end.

This is what mine looks like (with the final clue stripped out).  All the progress pictures in the Knit & Knag Designs group on Ravelry look great so far.  My favourite this past week has got to be Kim’s from NJ:

Kim has stretched out her WIP as a steering wheel cover.  Awesome!  And handy for knitting at stoplights (just kidding – don’t knit and drive).

It reminds me of when I was at Rhinebeck a few years ago.  I was working on Ra & Apep from Ancient Egypt in Lace and Color

and I had a nice-looking blob on my needles.  I was in a restaurant, knitting away, and the waitress stopped at my table and said “Wow, that’s a lovely crocheted hat!”
What could I say other than “Thank you!” and try not to laugh?  😀  But I still affectionately think of the shawl as the crocheted hat.  And from now on, I think the Mystic Supernova will be known as the steering wheel cover.  😀

Aside from that, I’m busily at work at another upcoming pattern – it will definitely be a Mystic KAL, but likely not until the fall, since it’s a large project again.  I’ll show a bit of a sneak peek here:

The yarn is 2 boxes of Fiber Optic Yarns 100% Merino wool laceweight  in the Damson-Gold gradient.  900 yds/3.6 oz per paintbox.  Simply stunning.
