The good news is, the shawl came out worth every second of the ripping back and of the not knowing; I am very, very happy with it. It’s hard to believe I got that kind of length and width out of 82g worth of laceweight. (Anybody need a little extra white Fino for theirs?…)
The bad part, of course, is that I can’t show it yet. All in good time.
And now that the lacy days of summer are over, I went looking for what to do next. After all, what’s the worsted thing that could happen, right?
I had a project in mind, and found, as I looked through my stash today, that I’ve been knitting so much lace for so long that I hadn’t noticed I was virtually out of any heavier weights. It’s not that the wool had DK’d… It just got a little loopy.
Shepherd’s Wool puts out a new-to-me merino so soft one could go in-skein, and Purlescence tonight helped get me all wound up about it.
Nice stuff. I am going to have a ball with it.

Sounds like you’re ready to take another project for a spin.
Enjoy the process, knit-less to say. 🙂

Comment by Debra 10.09.09 @ 6:26 amAw… a cloud of lovely knitting would have been perfect this morning. Guess I’ll have to wait with everyone else.
Comment by Ruth 10.09.09 @ 7:58 amoohhh I am hoping you can’t show he shawl because another book is in process!!!
(I’m selfish that way LoL)
I think your surgeon slipped and clipped your pun-inhibitor wiring during your last surgery. Whew!
Have fun bending that yarn to your will.
Comment by Barbara-Kay 10.09.09 @ 8:37 amThat’s a pretty color of Shepherd’s Wool. I’m pretty sure that’s the new line a LYS is carrying that was so nice to the touch…
Comment by Channon 10.09.09 @ 9:24 amWaiting to see it. The new yarn is loverly, too.
Comment by sherry in idaho 10.09.09 @ 9:30 amWorsted? Very punny, very punny! That ball of yarn looks pretty peachy.
Fun –
This wine reminds me of myself: classic, medium-bodied, and full of chocolate.

But the yarn–bad puns aside–looks gorgeous. Maybe I should take some pink out of my stash . . .
You’re tickling my punny bone, keep it going.
