My knitting is still rolling along, and yes, I am still hooked! I haven't finished a project this week, but I think I am a true knitter now--I have 2 totally different projects on the needles at one time.
I got a little distracted this week while working on Millie's Acacia, by the deep desire to start my Stephen West shawlette, Little Colonnades. So I have worked a little bit on each ...
I am loving this Madeline Tosh yarn, but boy knitting with fingering weight takes a long time. I bought lace point Addi Turbo lace points and they are divine to work with.

I find myself knitting away and feeling pretty proud of my progress and then I stop to count, and realize my increases still need to get me to double the size it is now! :)
(Do you like my yarn bling?? These little acorn stitch markers were given to me by a co-worker, knitting friend. I have a strong affinity for stitch markers and find myself drawn to them on Etsy quite often!)As far as Millie's Acacia, I finished all the yoke gathers on the front and back, have joined it in the round, and have begun the body part, which is straight knit stitch, round and round, row after row! Definitely t.v. knitting!
Really feeling the need to push through and finish this top for Millie before summer is over--although this weekend is the first we have had temps worthy to be considered summer since the 4th of July---Have a great week!
Oh that shawl is gorgeous! I love the yarn, the pattern and the stitch markers. Really looking forward to starting my Stephen West project now.
ReplyDeleteAdorable Acacia too. I'm sure there must be more summer to come, though we too have seen little evidence of summer since May.
Your shawl is beautiful. When I made my first shawl I bought Addi Turbos too. Amazing what a difference those sharp little points make!
ReplyDeleteyour shawl looks beautiful, the yarn is absolutely gorgeous. i've got some addi turbo lace in the post - really looking forward to using them now :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, your shawl looks awesome, such pretty fall colors.
ReplyDeleteYour shawl is coming out so pretty. I tried to knit a shawl one time and did not get very far. I am too slow a knitter to take on such projects. I envy people that can do this.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING! I love your shawl, it's so simple and elegant.
ReplyDeleteI thought the stitch markers were a permanent thing, which would look cool too.
ReplyDeleteDon't shawls get a little ridiculous after a while? they always looks so pretty when done though!
ReplyDeleteThe yarn in your shawl id gorgeous, what colourway is it?
ReplyDeleteIs that colorway slightly bronzish? It is incredible and I'm not normally a fan of brown. The stitch markers are quite wonderful. And yes, multiple wips equals a definite knitter, you've made it!
