I started over on my cosmic shawl using some beautifully soft superfine merino + alpaca blend yarn that my dad bought for me a few months ago. I just wasn’t happy with the way the wensleydale was looking in the garter stitch and it’s too special of a yarn to not love the end product. I will set it (the yarn) aside until I find the right project for it. In the meantime I’m loving the way this gray yarn is knitting up and I think I prefer this shawl as a neutral anyway. I have quite a few small projects on the go (a sweater for phoebe, a sweater + hat for wren, socks for me, etc.) and I keep rotating between them all. I need to just hunker down on each one until it’s done so that I don’t feel quite so scattered.
I’m reading Sylvia’s Farm: The Journey of an Improbable Shepherd (affiliate link) which I originally heard about through Ginny’s beautiful blog some years ago. I’m thankful for a lot of reading inspiration via her blog. The chapters are short, winsome, and engaging. Its been so enjoyable to read in the evenings before falling asleep.
We are supposed to get some ice and snow potentially today. I hope if you’re getting some wintry weather where you are that you are staying safe and warm and enjoying the coziness!
Linking up today with Nicole’s Crafting On.
