Finishing Body of the Shawl

After two days of knitting I am 7 rows to the end of the main body. Once that is done I start on the lace work in the morning. I am excited about that as it is the part I enjoy the most.

So far this has been an easy knit, and will make a wonderful first shawl for someone that is wanting to build confidence. I will be passing this pattern on to my sister as I teach her how to knit.

Cross Country Shawl say one.

I started my Shawl this morning,Though a two hours in, saw I had made a mistake. I frogged it and restarted. Now it is looking great.

This pattern I am using is Seraphin Shawl. And using Merino ORO Black Lace yarn. I am very excited about this shawl already as it is soft as a cloud once knit. Stay Tuned for more updates on my Cross Country Shawl.

Cross Country Shawl

We are embarking on a cross-country move (again) on the 25th of March. I have been pondering what project to work on for this 4 day drive. My project up until this point has been a pair of socks, though I am nearly finished with sock #1, and would have made the second in a day. I really like the idea of having a project that i start and finish all on the drive without it leaving large gaps of time.

So after much thought I am going to be working on another Shawl. My last one was very fun and is beautiful. I am hoping to have the same sort of results with this new project.

I will be taking photos of my project along the way. Believe it or not I hope to start the piece as we leave Salt Lake City on Sunday Morning and  finish this by our arrival on Thursday in Hickory North Carolina.

We are making this a four day trip rather than the 3 we made it in last time. So barring bad weather (no light, or more frequent driver changes) I should have nearly 4 days of uninterrupted knitting. Wish me luck.
