Since last week when I distributed 8 cubic feet of yarn to my friends, John did not mind me starting a new shawl instead of grabbing and finishing a UFO. I was at three different combinations of yarn and John ch chose the colors he liked. I spent the evening winding 4 new cakes of yarn. The first skein was knotty. When the forth skein when the yarn started getting wonky, I used my right knee to keep the yarn on the squirrel cage. I am going to knit my pattern Grandmas Summer Shawl, this time in a DK weight since the pattern knit up so well with a worsted weight and U.S. size 10.5 by 50 inch circular knitting needles. I am thinking about a U.S. size 7 for the new shawl.
I know that I said I would not start a new project until all the UFO’s were finished. However all I have are summer weather shawls in progress. It is now frequently getting below 70° and I need some warmer shots that fit me. I distributed all the shells that were too big so now I only have one winter shawl. I will need at least 2. Hence the new project.
