I’ve been focused on shawl knitting this week. I have worked on my sweater a little bit, but not enough to see any progress.
I finished the fifth lace section in Water tonight. Then I noticed I made a mistake in the lace so I ripped it back. It is the second time I’ve had to redo a lace section. It isn’t difficult lace, I’m just trying to work on it when I’m not able to focus. I know better than to pick up and put down lace several times in 20 minutes. I’m using dental floss for a lifeline. It’s really easy to thread on, it stays put, and it leaves a lovely minty smell. As an added bonus, the travel size from the dentist fits easily into my notions bag.

I’m really enjoying the Casapinka shawlette. The pattern is enjoyable to knit, and the colors look much better together together as the shawl is knit up. I’m really glad I stuck with the colors in the kit.

What are you working on?
Kudos to you on catching the mistake in the lace. I screw up on good ol, simple eyelet patterns.

Me too. I don’t knit much lace because of it.

You have been busy. I only just finished Part 4 of Water, and I don’t have another knit project to blame. I do like the look of your Casapinka Shawlette.

I spied a green sock there too. Looks just like one of a pair I made this winter! I love your shawls. And I’m a floss lifesaver too. That is when I do lace……

I had always used yarn before, but I’m sticking with floss from now on.

Do you have a one skein shawl pattern you would recommend?

I don’t have one. I really like deep shawls, and I haven’t found a single skein one that works for me.
