For the 3 people (generous) following along at home…

#ScyllaShawl is SOAKING!

Sadly, 8 months post-move the milk crate with my fiber washes is still buried in the garage, quite inaccessible. 🤷‍♀️

Humpday = #WiPWednesday so here’s a pic from #ScyllaShawl frogging last week: looks like something in a tide pool!

’Only’ 2 more stripes + 3 stripe border left to go!

Neon colored handknit shawl detail: pink, purple, aqua, orange, and chartreuse yarns in chevron stripes; in the center a scrunched up section of loops off the needles look like green sea life.

My most adult habit? Weaving in ends as I go. This is all that’s left before blocking #ScyllaShawl commences!

🚨RETINA BURN🚨

Early days on my Muppet-y #ScyllaShawl but today marks one stripe of each color #knit. Suspect with this palette the light-medium-dark designations don’t matter as much but I’m pleased w/ my choices.

Beginning of a handknit shawl, 5 stripes in and on the needles. Top to bottom: orange, Aqua, purple, green, pink. On a yellow background .

On final (as-written) stripe of my Screaming #ScyllaShawl, currently re-thinking my blasė attitude toward #knitting gauge swatches for shawls...

Closeup photo of a handknit shawl in progress: focus on the point where the needles cross and reveal where an orange row becomes an aqua row. A purple section is visible below, and the ball of aqua yarn sits in the upper right corner. All sits atop a page of the pattern, revealing one word: Schematic.

The future’s so bright Maus & I gotta wear shades!

The end of my Screaming
#ScyllaShawl is within sight. Started adding extra stripe sections yesterday. Hoping to bind off before next week’s heat dome to take advantage of the ideal blocking weather.

At least my knitting is headed in the right direction.

Last #WiPWednesday for #ScyllaShawl - Binding off is happening! Blocking called on account of rain.

Welp. It is a Monday.

#WhatsOnMyNeedles? Same #ScyllaShawl, same row as last time. Frogged 6 rows of 800sts ea. Reknit. Need more depth: 1/2 day mapping more stripes. Knit 24 rows. They didn’t work. Frogged *those* this morning. 🤷‍♀️

Plan C, here I come!

#Knitsky #KnitWiP #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶
Closeup of the knit shawl-in-progress: 6 (of 24) frogged then reknit stripes shown here before they were refrogged today. Sigh. It’s a process. Colors: Chartreuse, purple, safety orange, hot pink, and aqua. Brightly colored striped shawl-in-progress off the needles. The stripes create wedges or points that make the shawl look like a star shaped donut made of orange, purple, aqua, chartreuse, and hot pink ‘dough’.

In these dark days I create light: I #knit bright bombs of color & drop em in your timeline like a Bob Ross landscape, like a hug from Mr. Rogers, like a visit from Big Bird. Forgive the mixed similes. I am so tired.

Progress on my Screaming

You will never believe this, but I’m frogging. AGAIN. 😆😂😅

Reknit 1st 3 stripes (of 6) in new(est) layout of #ScyllaShawl, but still not dialed so…new plan!

L: Before — will frog last 3 (pink, green, orange)
R: Plan — 3rd time’s the charm!
