Some how getting rid of the 6 cubic feet of yarn created more open space in my knitting room. Which has lead to me being able to think more clearly. Find the projects that were missing in clutter. Found among the now less cluttered room was a knitting pattern and yarn bought almost a decade ago. It is a modular shawl and I am using Koigu wool. Specifically the KPPPM wool which when I purchased it sold for $14.00 a skein. I have no idea what it costs now.
As you can see I do have a red themed stitch marker on one end which tells me in Sheri speak that this is a working row with stitch changes. The other end is not red, so that is a resting row. I also put a right side marker on the right side. I will be doing a lot of casting on for this pattern and I want the seems all on the same side.
There is not much shape to the first shell yet. That will come towards the end of the shell.
Would you believe I found another shawl from that same time period. I put it away because it vexed me. I asked for help and even offered to pay for a lesson for the help. I was told then I should know how to do something that basic. Well I did not and it sat on the shelf for years. Fast forward to today and I know the person did not know how to do the stitch either and was to lazy to ask for help. I know that now as a teacher of knitting. I wonder if this was a contributing factor of the store closing down. Since I can only knit 2 different shawls at a time and keep the patterns straight, this is number 3 and will have to wait. So you will have to wait for pictures too.
I will have 3 new shawls finished soon.
The photo was deleted at the request of the pattern writer. No further photos of this project or mentions of the shawl will ever be posted again. Sheri
