Airiness

I knit a shawl, a light airy beautiful shawl.

The pattern is a simple grid, almost mindless, at times pushing on tedious.  Perhaps it was still a little too soon after my blanket marathons to begin a simple rectangular shawl, but the results are wonderful.

I knit this on size 6 needles, which was the recommended needle size.  I didn't check my gauge, though I am a loose knitter and my shawl was slightly larger than the pattern specified.  I didn't worry about it, and I like the final result, which is really all that matters.

Next up, something with a bit of a lace panel, a sweater, also on size 6 needles, so it should be a fairly quick knit.

  • I used to think of myself as continually distracted, but that is far from the truth. The truth is that I find the world to be filled with fascinating things that capture my attention. When I am doing something I love, be it reading a book, listening to music, sewing, knitting, learning something new, or just daydreaming, I am so totally focused that the intrusion of the world comes as something of a shock. There are so many things pulling at my hearstrings, so many things in which to lose myself, so many things tempting away from my one true passion ..... of the moment. I want to explore them all. Despite these changing passions, there are some constants in my affections: sewing, knitting, style and clothing, music, food. These are the main topics I will consider here, although there will be digressions and explorations as well.
