Missing in action

I’ve been here.  I just haven’t been updating.  However, I’ve moved my domain to a new location and hopefully this will be incentive to post more often.  Still working on the whole taking good pictures things.

So let’s get to what’s important, what’s on the needles.

Currently I’ve got a Maplewing Shawl started.  An insane 522 stitches to start.  It starts at the bottom and is beautiful and amazing.  It’s in a beautiful green, brown and black yarn called Whisper.  I’m on row 4.  It takes about 45 minutes to get through one row so this will be a while.

I started a pair of socks for Deb.  It’s some more of her yarn, this time Jitterbug I think.  I’ve had a sock pattern in mind for this yarn every since I first saw it, just a simple basket weave but it will look super.

I’ve finally started a Clapotis for myself.  I’m knitting that up in Cherry Tree Hill Supersock Lace in an amazing colorway named Indian Summer.  I’ve almost finished the first skein and I’m at the point in the pattern where I should be decreasing but I’m going on.  Originally I was going to use both skeins but now I’m thinking part of the second skein might become a hat.

I just finished a small cross stitch for the bedroom that I need to trim up so I can hang it.  It was my first plastic canvas cross stitch and it was quite fun.  I’ve now started a my first linen project with a pattern from My Big Toe that will be quite fun.

I have some amazing silk cobweb and another cobweb that I’m going to be starting soon into more shawls.  I just love knitting shawls!
