Pattern: Aeslight ShawlYarn: Fingering weight
Needles: Size 7
Awhile back, Lizzie sent me a link to this pattern as she thought I would enjoy knitting it. Too fuuny as it was my curret project on the needles. She definitely knows my knitting taste.
This pattern can be knitted as a scarf or a shawl. It truly is a beautiful pattern once it is blocked.
I had this shawl about 75% done and just was not inspired with the yarn
I was using so I took it off the needles and started over again with this pink yarn. I wish I had selected something a little more luxurious.
This has been my slowest knitting month every. Because these edges of this shawl pattrn is not asily memorized, the knitting is time-consuming. I can't wait to start something new but I have about 3 baby sweaters to finish and two single socks screaming for a mate.
I start teaching a new knitting class this Thursday. This one will be "Beginner Knitting" so it should be easier than my sock or mitten classes. I've also been contacted by a yarn shop to teach three classes but I'm not sure their schedule fits mine. Four classes in one week besides my regular job is a little too much so if they are agreeable, I am willing to teach just one class for now.
Happy Knitting!
Your mad knitting skills are getting out and everyone wants you to teach knitting :P.
ReplyDeleteI'll be waiting for a finished picture of the shawl, I do understand too many irons in the fire, one thing at a time girl, eat that elephant one bite at a time. :) Make your list and check the things off as you finish, it gives a since of relief to see them checked off and know the list is dwindling :).
Your shawl looks beautiful! Can't wait to see it done. :)
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is beautiful. Just right for the colder months. Is this a free pattern and, if so, would you be so gracious and share the link? Renate
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finished project!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the finished shawl!! I love the pink.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice when we have good friends that know our knitting styles & tastes? Your shawl is beautiful. That's a lot of stitches!
ReplyDeleteMay you have better sucess with this upcoming knitting class than you did with the last class. Hopefully you won't have all the confusion of trying to find a room & keeping a room.
Love the shawl! And not just because it's pink. Although, that helps. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI hope you can get a teaching schedule that you can live with.
Very pretty shawl! Is it a free pattern? Do you have a link to the pattern? Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI think the shawl is lovely! But it does look difficult. I tend to put off difficult patterns because I'm constantly up an down and I'm afraid I'll loose my place.
ReplyDeleteJoansie , Love the shawl. I would like to do it in A Ivory silk yarn but for home wear i could do it in a colorful color like you.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get the pattern ?
Some projects take slogging through, but when you get done you remember all over again, and then some, why you started--you will love it.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful !
ReplyDeleteJust so you know--every message I've sent you over the last three or four days has come bouncing back. Gmail no werky?
