Or rather, shawl–quick, go tell Dorothy she needs to accessorize.
I spent an hour today carefully tinking back to a mistake from last night–apparently, I can’t reliably count to three past 11 pm–and reknitting the gray, and after I got done, did something I almost never do: I started another project before finishing the previous one. Lisa’s Ruby in baby alpaca/silk won the yarn toss.
I love how my shawl patterns, when you’re starting out, relax out on the circular needle in the shape of a resting cat, poised here to bat at the ball of yarn. And now that the Ruby is ready for me to jump back to as a refuge from monochromatic vision the next time I might need it, I can get back to finishing the gray.

So, dear friend, have you ever figured up just how many shawls you knit in a year? A month? Your production is amazing, I know that.

Comment by Danielle from SW MO 09.05.08 @ 7:26 amSometimes I can’t count past three at noon- so don’t feel too bad you can’t past 10. 😀
Comment by Liz 09.05.08 @ 8:27 amThe other night I was completely unable to cast on. Tried 3 different times, looked at the clock and it was after 12. I looked at John and said “I give, going to bed now”
Comment by Sonya 09.05.08 @ 1:35 pmI can see why it won the toss! the colorway is one that I would certainly enjoy knitting!
Comment by Joansie 09.06.08 @ 4:01 pmRuby red. It’s beautiful.
I’m not reliable after nine p.m. so you’re two (hours) up on me. 🙂
Hi Alison, I was wondering if you can share with us what led you to your particular passion for shawls. Do you knit other items as well, or are you “strictly” shawls? I’d love to hear about your journey to your beautiful shawl knitting.
Blessings,
Lisa
