Back for another week!! This week I have been monogamous!! That does not happen too often, but it did this week. I had fallen behind on my Impressionist MKAL and have been trying to catch up since I am between rounds on Sock Madness. When I last showed you a picture of my shawl I was complete on Clue #1. Clue 2 and 3 had been released but I had not worked on them yet. So this past week I have finished Clue #2 and almost finished Clue #3 (I have four rows left of Clue #3 - but my last row was 468 stitches and each row increases by either 2 or 4 stitches, so the rows take awhile!) Clue #4 was released yesterday morning and I hope to get this shawl done before the next round of Sock Madness! It is hard to get a picture of the shawl now as there are so many stitches bunched up on the cable... Soon I will be posting a picture of it all done and blocked :)
Here is a picture of where I am now. The first marker shows the beginning of Clue #2 and the second marker shows the beginning of Clue #3.
Here is the yarn I plan to use for the next round of Sock Madness. It is also yarn I dyed myself. And as I was getting this all typed up the pattern dropped for the next round of Sock Madness!! I'll be casting this on momentarily!!
Until next week!!
Such pretty colors in the shawl. With that many stitches in each row, it does take some time to complete each one.
ReplyDeleteYour sock yarn is so pretty too. You are in a 'blue' mood. But in a good way LOL.
Not being much of a knitter, I can't even imagine how long it takes to knit 468 stitches (and growing). I look forward to seeing your shawl finished and blocked. I do love the colors you're working with.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shawl! I love your yarn choices and yes....after awhile it feels like you are knitting in slow motion when you get to those l o n g rows. You did great with your catch up. What sis you use to dye your yarn? Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThat shawl looks great! Can't wait to see it completed! Sock Madness...good luck!
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for having the will power to stick with one project! I sadly have been bouncing around and not accomplishing much on anything.
ReplyDeleteI do love that blue that you dyed. Is it a prepared dye or something you mixed?
I've seen loads of impressionists, Helen Stewart is great isn't she? Yours is fab. And as for your blue yarn, it is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove you shawl. I hear ya on long rows. I am currently at 488 stitches per row - they take forever!
