Upcoming Projects
I’m so, so busy with the auction and haven’t had much time to knit let alone update the blog. But I have some projects that I’m really excited about.
Currently I’m working on a late birthday present for my grandmother, a shawl out of the left over Filatura Di Crosa Ultralight. I’m knitting it up on much larger needles this time. It’s a rectangular shawl, and I’m just making up the pattern as I knit. Considering the amount I’m knitting lately, I’m already half way through it.
The next big project is a shawl for my friend Wendy back in Minnesota for her commitment ceremony in June. We’ve exchanging many e-mails trying to figure out what to make. She decided on Rowan’s Kidsilk Night in the Starlight color. It has just a hint of shiny metallic in it. The yarn arrived yesterday. Today I went out and bought Rowan Magazine 38 and will be knitting River. Once seeing the pattern up close, I was surprised to see the beaded knot for the shawl, something I couldn’t see online. I’m intrigued. I got a new set of circular needles so I’m set to begin. It’s all I can do to keep focused on my auction work while the Kidsilk Night is staring back at me. Maybe I’ll watch a little guilty pleasure t.v. tonight and cast on, but then stop there.
And the last big project, what I’ve been referring to as my 20-year project, is an afghan from Barbara Walker’s Learn-To-Knit-Afghan Book. I’ll be knitting this the same time my friend Johanna is making hers. Now I’m searching for just the right worsted weight yarn for the project. Any suggestions?

I made an afghan with my sister, we each made 20 blocks and put it together. We used Plymouth Encore worsted weight, there are lots of colors and it’s machine washable/dryable which was important. And there is a bit of wool which makes it somewhat blockable.
