Lots of Swatches
I’ve been making a lot of swatches lately for my Stitches II class. It’s been kind of fun trying out a lot of different stitch patterns, but it’s been frustrating doing all this work with no finished product. I’ve also been working on sample cards for the store; no finished product, but the store credit is nice.
The River shawl is coming along. I did not get nearly as much knitting done at the beach as I was hoping (lots of shopping time though). I’m about 23% done with the shawl. I’m getting a little faster, but still no mistakes.
I’m really looking forward to this summer with a lot of free knitting time. No upcoming projects for people, no homework for knitting classes…I can just work on any knitting project that I feel like doing. Maybe I’ll spend the summer knitting up all of that sock yarn I have? Maybe I’ll make a whole lot of scarves? Maybe I’ll tackle an intricate sweater? The possibilities.
The one thing I know I’ll be doing this summer is taking a week long intensive weaving class at WEBS. Should be fun.
