venice

I have a staggering amount of projects on the needles right now.  Two scarves, two socks, and a gignormous shawl.  Yet when the mailman brought this to my door

I knew I would be taking a little side trip to Venice.

Yesterday, instead of cleaning bathrooms or doing a final edit I got lost in a bit of lace.

This shawl is constructed in a way that is new to me.  It is begun in the round, then turns in to a square that makes the back V portion.  From there, wings are knit on two sides on the square.  It is very clever.  Lori's designs often teach me something new.  I like that in a pattern.

Look, I can do a circular cast on!

That yarn is very pretty I have never knit a shawl that started out circle but ended up square I can't wait to hear how you like it.

I saw it on your faves .... will be intrigued to watch it develop.

I know how you feel. I opened my package last night and was very tempted to cast on.....but then reality set in and I comforted myself with drooling over the yarn and pattern photos.

Annnddd... yet again another yarn I cannot capture in a photograph very well. Although Lori had trouble too, so I think it's not just me. I know you'll be cruising along on this - can't wait to see the FO!

The yarn is gorgeous. I'm excited to see the final project!
