#ScyllaShawl is SOAKING!

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

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

At least my knitting is headed in the right direction.

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

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.

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!

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’.

no inspiration
seven two zero hexis
no satisfaction

2011: began knitting #BeekeeperBlanket
2020: finished the final (720th) hexagon
2026: will this week’s #Inspiration theme for #ShowMeYourKnits kickstart the seaming? WILL IT?

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.

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

#Knitsky #KnitWiP #Knitting 🧶
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.

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

🚨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.
