I finished my Wandering the Moor shawl the other day and I considered immediately starting Color Affection with those beautiful skeins I showed you on Monday. Then I remembered my post about shawls back in the spring. I’ve got 3 out of 4 of those knit but I’d still really like to knit the Aeolian Shawl out of that luscious skein of silk that I bought at WEBS last year. And you know how I am about sticking to a plan. Then I remembered seeing Susan’s Progression shawl when I was at Blazing Needles and I thought about how great that would look with this gorgeous skein of Woolen Rabbit laceweight that I have. And I thought I could revise my plan to include this new shawl after I finished the Aeolian shawl.
So you know what I did?
I pulled out the scarf kit that I bought while I was in Utah.
And I wound up those mini skeins and I cast on for Leftie.
Who says I can’t be spontaneous?
Kym Said,
I just wound my Leftie skeins as well! It’s so fun to have a project that connects me so immediately to you and Margene and Utah!
Deirdre Said,
I think spontaneous knitting is sometimes the best kind of knitting!
Sharon Said,
I just bought the Leftie kit by Miss Babs at Rhinebeck! I’m glad to see I’ll be in good company knitting it! But told myself I have to finish my Hitchhiker first!
Kathy Said,
Crazy! I love that Leftie scarf — I want to make it too.
margene Said,
I’m ready to start my Leftie, too! It’s bright and happy which I need to fill my hands with when the weather is dreary! We three have a great connection! I’ll cast on today!
Robby Said,
ROFL – that is so the sort of thing I would do. Start out with not just a plan, but a mission – and then watch it get morphed into a new plan. Love those colors!
Patty Said,
It was obviously meant to be! It will be fun to see the three completed projects.
Robby Said,
Did I mention I’m off to look at that Leftie project again? ;^)
Jo-Ann Said,
Love the colors! I will be casting on a new shawl this weekend, printed out the pattern yesterday. I know that I wanted to finish the hat I have on the needles first, but the pattern is on my kindle … and my kindle accidentally got left at our cousin’s house last weekend, so I can’t work on that until I get the kindle back in 2 weeks. Obviously I need to cast on for a shawl to ease the pain
Donna Said,
Those colors are super gorgeous. I would have had a hard time deciding what to do next.
Cheryl S. Said,
Whatever speaks to you!
I started Semele at the knitter’s retreat, and it’s just been sitting in its bag while I finished up my mother’s cardigan, the baby blanket, started and finished a new cardigan, and have now started a pullover.
Ann in the UP Said,
It helps to know there are no Knitting Police. Whatever turns your crank.
That being said, I have the patterns and yarn for the Fall in Full Colors projects, and I’m knitting men’s grey socks. I think I need a little of being spontaneous.
I love your yarn colors too!! Gorgeous!
Mary K. in Rockport Said,
I LOVE that Leftie pattern – and I’m not going to do a thing about it.
kmkat Said,
Great color combination!
kmkat Said,
Okay, I just went to Ravelry and looked at Leftie. I have that one in my mental queue, too!
Kathode Ray Tube Said,
Lovely colors! Have to look up Leftie.
susan Said,
using that sock yarn for Leftie is brilliant
jill Said,
Beautiful collection of colors. Now I want some!! Enjoy, enjoy!
lynne s of oz Said,
Argh, now I have looked at leftie and I want to knit the most ginormous one… like one of the ladies on ravelry, only I don’t want to deal with the ends… But I am a leftie and it is appropriate and it would use some scraps up… Sheesh, I shouldn’t swing by any blogs ever.
