Knitting In The Dark

It has not been super hot here in Central IL, but the last couple of nights it has been just a tad bit muggy.  So after dinner, I sit in my chair and try to keep the lights off as long as I can with just the t.v. for  a little light.

Cheryl's Folk School Shawl is a great knit for the dark and I have been having a bit of fun knitting on it.  I probably started knitting it a couple of years ago now, but am hoping for a finish in the next couple of weeks and be able to block it when I am on vacation in a couple of weeks.

It is going to be a great shawl to throw over the arms this Summer when in the air condition and the creamy white will go with everything so I can grab it and take it to the shop with me on Saturdays when it is hot outside and cool inside.

We are knitting this over on the Knitaway Group on Ravelry, come join us.  Mine is out of Just Beautiful Alpaca, and you know how I love Alpaca.

One And Only

It was a great thought, when I read about Camp Loopy.  I bought the first month's yarn, I found a pattern or two to knit with it.  I knitted something, Wendy Johnson's As You Like It Scarf.

 It did not take the whole skein.  Well, maybe it would have it I would have went with a larger needle.  But 3/4 of the way through it, I was anxious to be knitting on my other projects, so it became obvious that I would not make it through all of Camp Loopy.

I've moved back to must knit items.  And I'm okay with it and I love my one and only!
