It feels so good to have that big ol’ box sent off and that shawl pattern published. But don’t be fooled! The knitting still goes. I’m actually quite happy to be back to working on this project:
In my head I’m calling it my “growing summer storm” because the piece is finally getting bigger (and I like it, so I won’t be ripping out. again.) and because the dark grey purple-y colors look like storm clouds to me.
This is the last project in a collection I’ve got coming out in August, so it feels awesome to be coming that milestone! Not that the work on the entire thing will cease once the knitting does, these babies need Tech Editing, and they need it bad.
Linking up with Tami as always! What are you working on this week? Making progress on long-standing projects? Or starting something new and sweet?
Your growing summer storm is a perfect name for that beautiful yarn. Congratulations on your pattern publication.
Thanks Nancy! I wonder how I can get the job of naming all the yarn colors…..I’ll work on that.
Gorgeous pattern you’ve published! I love shawls!
And that purple-y yarn is so pretty. It looks wonderfully soft and squishy. Happy knitting!
Thanks so much! The purple-y yarn *is* squishy and fun to knit 😀
Beautiful colourway. Sounds like you can see the light at the end of the tunnel – that must feel great!
