Hello again Fiber Arts Friday and Crafty Friday followers!
The Tour de Fleece has finally ended. It turns out I really enjoy spinning and I still find myself spending 15-30 min every night spinning something while watching a little TV before bed. I’ve got a lot of learning to do still.
Now that 100% of my free energy isn’t spent on spinning I’ve gotten back to a little crochet. I’ve never attempted to make a shawl before so why not make it my next project. Well I searched high and low for a pattern I liked. I started the shawl about 6 times and either hated the pattern or couldn’t read the pattern properly and was getting really frustrated. I eventually ended up coming up with my own pattern combination and so far I’m pleased with it enough to get about 1/2 through the shawl.
Here is my progress thus far. I’m hoping it’ll end up being a 1 skein shawl. When I finish I’ll write up the pattern I decided on and post it.
Recognize this color pattern? Yeah it’s from my Knitting Loom War post a few weeks back. I ripped the whole project off the loom. I don’t think I’ll ever attempt another loom project again. I hate that thing. So, if anyone wants a knitting loom for the cost of shipping you’re welcome to it.
