What’s great about these mystery projects is that they break down these big shawl patterns into manageable pieces.

In other news, my sinus infection is mucho bettah. Onyx eat on and off, some days she does and some days she doesn’t. She is losing a lot of weight and I worry on a daily basis. Thank the heavens for knitting to help me deal with all that icky stress.

And I am truly amazed that I got through Clue 1 without a hitch, since I really was working on very little sleep the whole time. Basically, I’ve been battling this insomnia for the past 3 months. Eek.

In other news, my friend Shelly from Rose Garden Fibers, Wendy from Quantum Spindles, and I are getting together to start a Mystery book club combined with a knitalong. The only thing we need to do is come up with a name.

Knitting World Cup

Posted under miscellaneous & socks

The Knitting World Cup started yesterday and I casted on the Pomatomus socks. Using some sock yarn that I lost the label for. I’m pretty sure it’s Regia 6, either way I love working with it so much. I’m already on my 2nd repeat! The charts really intimiatedated me at first, but if you’ve ever done a knitting pattern where suddenly the whole picture of what your doing clicks into place like a complete puzzle, then you’ll know what I mean when I say that the pieces all came together. After that the chart hasn’t really been needed.

I’m putting it down though, because I must finish the Moon Dance for Knit The Classics. The deadline is tomorrow. Can I do it?? We shall see.
