Happy Wednesday friends!
It’s been awhile since I’ve talked about what I’m actually working on, huh?
I’ve divided for arms on my Southwell Cardi — woo hoo!
My first ball of yarn is almost all knit up. I’m thinking when I finish it, I might go ahead and work the sleeves to get them out of the way – we’ll see!
And I’ve been enjoying knitting along on my Brambling Shawl, this month’s project for A Year of Techniques:
This month’s technique is intarsia, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find that it’s gone swimmingly. The pattern does require a certain degree of attention — that combined with the multiple colors involved has meant that I can only work on this when I have enough time to sit down and spread out. I probably won’t finish this by the end of April, but no matter … I’m excited to wear this airy shawl (knit out of Quince and Co Piper) whenever it gets finished.
With not much knitting going on around here, you know I haven’t managed to read much either … I’m still chipping away at (and really enjoying) The Underground Railroad – maybe I’ll have it finished by next week! Linking up with As Kat Knits Unraveled this week!
What are you working on?

That is a pretty shade of blue.

I have found Brambling is AWESOME! (But requires a pencil to mark off rows!) 🙂

Yes exactly! I can only work on it when I know I have time to spread out a bit … yarn balls … pattern … pens …
