I thought you might like to see a glimpse of how the Vernal Equinox Surprise shawl is coming along. As of last night I was in the middle of Clue 3. I think it's very pretty, and am doing OK on it! On Monday I even managed to knit six rows in the middle of a knitting group. Amazing power of concentration, huh.

I think the way the Jojoland Melody yarn slowly transitions from color to color is quite graceful. I had worried it wouldn't show up well in laceweight, but I think it does. Sorry about the garish red pillow background, but the tan part doesn't show up well against the new couch. The old denim one made such a nice background, but hurt my back!
Knitting a shawl is so comforting, so relaxing, so pleasant. Such a nice contrast to the local, national and international news. No wonder so many people have taken up knitting the past few years! Glad I have my yarn stockpile.
"Knitting a shawl is so comforting, so relaxing, so pleasant. Such a nice contrast to the local, national and international news. No wonder so many people have taken up knitting the past few years!" I'd never thought of that. I think it's quite true. (I'd say knitting in general, not just a shawl.)
ReplyDeleteI dunno... the Aeolian wasn't so relaxing if you ask me. :)
ReplyDeleteYour gorgeous creations make me want to give knitting a try again. I crochet like crazy. It's my meditation practice, pretty much. But I just never had the patience to hang with knitting. Once an avid knitter told me that you usually favor whichever skill you learned first. Since I learned crochet first, maybe I'll never give knitting it's due. :( But I see so many knitting patterns that I'd love to try. Your work is simply beautiful, stunning, amazing. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteI really love the way to Melody is working up for this too! I used it (different colorway) for a Multnomah and loved it. Can't wait to see this when you finish. It'll be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shawl, Suna! Finally I have time to read all your blogs. Work is too busy and when home there is always cooking, some cleaning and a bit of knitting and... whooosh, the evening is gone. You might recognize that. I still love following your knitting works. Oh, and by the way, the little sock by which we got to know each other, will be a kal sock in the Dutch sockknitting list I moderate. Isn't that nice? I translated it with consent of Laura Patterson, the designer. So nice.
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely gorgeous. I love the colour blending and the pattern...the two work together wonderfully.
