if you're a reader of this space then you know that i'm currently taking part in 2 kals. (i never said i wasn't crazy). i'm super happy to say that i've been fairly productive this week!
first up, my work + shelter tee. for the tttkal with luvinthemommyhood. this is knitting up uber fast. !!! the sleeves have been attached and i'm just working the yoke now. i'm really nearing the end! who knows, maybe i'll be binding off today! i'm sure the knit picks cotLin will be a dream to wear. and all of these lace sections will make for an airy top.
my pendulum shawl is coming along.. but it's definitely a more leisurly knit. haha. it's so fun though to see it develop, and i can't get enough of these two colours together. the end date for the pour moi kal (hosted by evelyn of project: stash) is june 7th so i have some serious knitting to do if i want to qualify for prizes... and that's always a good incentive, hey? but honestly, i don't really need the prize incentive to work on this shawl, it really is a great knit! :)
so i bet you can guess what my weekend will consist of! hahah. it's such a good thing that knitting is portable, because it will be coming with me to a tball game, and other fun things this weekend!
what do you have planned? any knitting just for you? some time in the sun? any sports events to be cheering at? come chat! the coffee is especially good. must be friday .. xo
Your Lace Striped Sweater is looking so great! I'm glad to know its speedy because I really hope to make one sometime soon. Its a gorgeous color. Your making some serious progress in both knitalongs.
ReplyDeletethank you!! they are both very enjoyable knits!! xoxoxo
DeleteWoah! Look at you go! Your needles must have been on fire this week!! I've admired that Lace Striped sweater since it was released, so I can't wait to see you finish it and wear it out! Definitely a great summer knit to wear, just might have to push it closer to the top of the queue?
ReplyDeletethanks lady! i have been keeping really busy that's for sure. getting this much done on top of work knitting makes me feel pretty good :) and well the weather is so amazing right now.. that i bet this top will get heaps of wear! xoxo
DeleteWhat I especially love is that you chose such different colors for your KALS but each project is so vibrant and rich!! I'm hoping for some serious knitting time this weekend (especially since I've got a deadline to meet for dear Jane Richmond's test knit)!
