I love you people, my imaginary friends! Every one of your comments made me smile, thank you. My family smile and admire my knitting, but they don’t “get” it the way all of you do.
\nSo, in the wake of finishing the Shetland Shawl, I suddenly find my knitting future wide open. I did pickup Buttercup and make one sleeve.

\nI had to incorporate some pretty big modifications in that sleeve. Fortunately I took notes for the next one! I’m knitting the size small for myself, and that fits just fine in the body, but there was no way those itty-bitty sleeves were going around my upper arm. So I added a few stitches and readjusted the armhole shaping to make up for the additional stitches. It seems to be fine now, we’ll see how it goes.
\nSo all that remains of Buttercup is one more sleeve and a tie. I could have that done in a few days!
\nBut I let temptation beguile me, and resurrected a long, long dead project.

\nIt’s the Charlotte’s Web shawl! My friend Jill<\/a> sent me this for my birthday back in 2004<\/a>. I knit it up, and then it sat, for ages, waiting for an edging. Then I edged it, blocked it and it was huge. H-U-G-E. SO I frogged it in a huff and threw it aside.
\nBut last night I decided that a triangle shawl in fingering weight is exactly what I need after a square in cobweb, so on the needles it went.
\nAlas, it may soon come off. I’m not sure that I’m happy with the colour combo I went with this time, especiaslly after looking at the way I went last time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
