Well, the membership for the Mystic Light KAL just reached 1,000. Thank you all! I hope you’ll enjoy the shawl. Of course, we still have a little while until we (well, *you*) start knitting. But there are so many other projects underway that I’m sure you’ll find something to keep you busy while you wait.
I’m knitting the Spring Shawl Surprise, and I rather enjoy it. I finished clue 3 last night, and am now working on clue 4. I really like that it has patterning on both the right- and wrong-side rows. Gives me something to do on the ws-rows.
I am using the most wonderful, luxurious yarn from Cottage Craft Angora. Emily, my SP11 sent me a skein as part of the last package and I really love it. Now the trick is to locate enough yarn to finish the shawl, but so far I’ve been fairly successful in getting more. Not quite enough yet, but soon, I think.
In any case, this yarn is amazingly soft and knits up really well.
I’m also just about done with the Starsky cardigan. I have a little bit left on the belt, and then the belt hoops. But it’s all been assembled and tried on, and if only the belt could be done I can start wearing it. And since it’s rather cold outside (-15C right now), I think it will be great to have another thick, warm cardigan. Just what I need, this time of year.
