My multnomah shawl is almost done! I just started repeat 9....only one more to go! I am looking forward to finishing this so I can start something new. I feel like I've been knitting this f.o.r.e.v.e.r. Granted...I did get into a car accident and put it up for awhile. But still. F.O.R.E.V.E.R.
Right now it is looking a little scrawny, but I'm fairly confident that it will grow when I block it. Besides the pattern being pretty easy and memorable, I am bored knitting this. There are just so many stitches per row - it takes a good 30+ minutes per row! So even though a repeat is only 4 rows....it takes forever.
I am trying to think of what I want to knit after this. I'm thinking a purple ruffle scarf for my friend Sadie for sure (read: I already bought the yarn). I joined another swap with the Danger Crafts group on Rav so there will be whatever pattern I decide on. And then....I'm thinking of tackling my first sweater. Rachel gave me three skeins of pretty green Mirasol yarn and I'm thinking maybe I might try Tiny Tea Leaves for my niece Anna. We shall see.
It's looking great, I love the colour. And it's looking always exciting when you get close to the end of a big project.
ReplyDeleteFeather and Fan, while totally lovely, does get so boring. I had a shawl for a friend that was completely in F&F....took me over a year to do because I kept getting bored with it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely, though :)
