well so much for deciding to knit the Foliosa shawl in pale greens.
My favourite yarn dyer just released her Spring 2023 colour and I love it.
Order 800m and it just arrived, looks even better.

Picked up a WIP shawl (had a rolled edge similar to Icord). Started knitting and realised I couldn't remember how I'd done the rolled edge. Fiddled for hours, searched the internet, but couldn't replicate it....argh! Pulled it all undone...boohoo.

Began something else...a new shawl. Completed the first 130 rows. About to start the first lace section.

After knitting 6 shawls and 2 scarves in a row I'm now knitting a pair of socks for a break before more shawls...lol
Hand-dyed yarns knitted in basketweave and stocking stitch.

Saw this shawl on Instagram & had to buy the pattern.

Definitely won't be making it in pink but thought maybe soft green.

Been offline for a week after eye surgery so picked up my knitting after a couple of days.
Wasn't happy with original idea for granddaughter's shawl so started & finished a different design. Going to undo the other and use this pattern instead.
Though the other was too 'heavy/old' for them.
Need to block this and add tassels to 2 corners.
Anyhow - back to editing...

Spent the morning working on my publisher's edits then gave my arms a workout.
Balled up 16 hand-dyed skeins for two shawls for my two grandaughters. I don't knit much in summer and as I want these for December I figured I'd better put any other WIPs aside and get started on these.

During El Nino it often reaches 46c (115f) - too hot to knit. Sadly could possibly go pass that figure this year.

Started knitting Snow Gum (ravelry.com/patterns/library/s). Using 3 of the colours I balled up the other day.
Only knitting late afternoon/evening as I have my 1st round of edits from my publisher for my next book.

Finished one WIP. No real pattern, just meandered along until I ran out of the wool I'd set aside for it.
4ply (fingering) approx. 800m used. (400m main colour, 80m each of other 5 colours), 4mm needle.

Wrote 1k words on my novel this morning then picked up my knitting.
Up to row 11 of . Had to undo a little with earlier rows but think I've got it figured out now.

Finished the first stripped section of & started on the next section. Did something wrong so had to undo & redo the 2nd row. Hopefully the 3rd works better 🤣

Started on yesterday. I'm using ChaioGoo red lace needles this time. Usually knit with KnitPro Symfonie for all my projects but I'd read some good reviews on the ChaioGoo so thought I'd try then - so far they seem nice.
Monday here so back to writing for a few hours then I'll knit a little this evening.

Had a rummage in my stash and found these Falkland Islands wool pretties. I have ordered a couple more balls of each - and they are 8ply- but this will work. Plus they are very similar colours to the original 12 ply. Whew!
Okay, I can relax now so back to writing. 🤣

Not happy, Jan.
The yarn arrived today for and I discovered the store had labeled it wrong. On the website it was marked as 10 ply (Aran) but it's not. It's 12ply (Bulky).
I think I can still use it but I guess it means I'll need more yarn - is that right?
Argh!
Swatch - 14 rows/11st 10cm 7mm needles

I scored a new haul in our local Dollar Tree store this evening. It's cheap but as I am a total beginner it's enough to get me started.
