Catching Up

I just noticed that I haven't posted since I finished my socks. And that's quite a while ago!
Soooooooo ..... just to catch up ....

I went on holiday and took two shawls with me to finish, which I did.

First I finished Anna Dalvi's Mystic Ice in 10/2 tencel in Silk Socks colourway:


Then I finished Mystic Star, also by Anna Dalvi. It's knit in Jaggerspun Zephyr 2/18 in pewter.


And, for good measure I started Melani Gibbons' Scherherazade, which is now finished.


Then I signed up for Moni's Taurus Birthday KAL, and also for Wings of Taurus, and just for good measure I also found Vernal Equinox, which in Ravelry has a Celebrate Spring group.

And now, Taurus is finished, and blocked:


Wings of Horus is in progress -- I'm still debating whether I am happy with the yarn/pattern combo:

This is just the end of Clue 1 -- I've knit a little more but have no phot of my progress so far. This is a fun KAL from Anja Belle aka Kalinumba. Every week she posts a riddle and the answer to the riddle takes you to the next portion of the chart. It's a weekly challenge, and I have the clues to date. I'll be sure to post it when I've finally chosen the yarn (or completed it with the yarn I'm using right now!)

But for the moment, it's Celebrate Spring or Vernal Equinox that is calling me. I'm finished to the end of Clue 3. It's knit in Malabrigo LaceWeight yarn in the colourway Geranio. I love the colour and the feel of the yarn ... and they are working nicely with the pattern.

I'm also busily planning for a three month sabbatical from work, and am busily hunting for a knitting project to accompany me. So bear with me and I'll do my best to keep you up to date.
