The jury is still out on whether I plan to knit along with the Summer Games of that organization that does not want any association with knitters. (Hint, they start in London tomorrow.) I have plenty of knitting to keep me busy; I won't even go into all my WIPS.
Since finishing my Color Affection #1 on Monday, I have grazed among my projects.
Tuesday was devoted to my Duchess of Cambridge featherweight cardigan. Easy peasy no brainer knitting. Another inch or two was added to the length. I think my hesitation with this stems from not knowing what endings I want, if I want lace or patterned sleeve edge and bottom edge. Or just ribbing. And the neck/front band: I want a non-rolling edge. So...lace or seed or garter or what? Decisions, decisions.
Yesterday I worked on my Paisley triangle, see picture below. It's a bamboo, merino, silk blend that was dyed by Yarn Hallow. It took a minute to find my place on the chart, but then went swimmingly.
And earlier this evening I picked up my current sock in progress for a few rounds.
But back to where I started. I am almost decided I want to take some of my precious handspun and make the Rumpus Recipe shawl. It's a pick-your-option sampler shawl, by Spunky Eclectic. Different cast-ons. Different endings. Different middles. Different colors.
Problem is I haven't seen the pattern because it isn't posted yet. But if I like what I seen, I think the answer will be yes, I will. But I will simply compete against time and myself in my own private knitting oly----s.
