I’m knitting away on the Spring Shawl Surprise, and have completed clue 5. It’s looking good, although I’m noticing the colour variation between the different skeins of yarn a little more than I had hoped (notice how it looks a little striped in the more recent knitting?). In any case, I’m continuing with clue 6 today.
I wonder if maybe it will be possible to dye the entire shawl when it’s completed to smooth out those stripes?
I am also just about done with the Lizard Ridge afghan. The four panels have been knit. They have been stitched together. And the edging has been crocheted. I haven’t blocked it yet, because…..
Well, do you see this lovely edging?
It turns out that you use a lot of yarn to go around the entire edge of the afghan. So much yarn, in fact, that my skein of Paton’s Classic Merino wasn’t quite enough. I ran out of yarn…
…with about 10 cm left to go.
Very irritating.
So I will have to go hunting for more yarn before I finish it. I had hoped to be able to go to a yarn store sometime today, but instead I’m at home with two sick children, so it will have to wait for another day.
