So, it's nearly a month after I've returned from my travels, and I'm still playing catch up. However, I am not so behindmost that I could pass up
a fall-themed KAL. Whether I'm going to finish while it's still fall remains to be seen. However I figured I could a least put up a pic of
my entry.
Uncharacteristically for me, it's a shawl. I don't actually know what the yarn is- it's laceweight, I have a lot of it, and I plan to use it all (unless it turns out that it makes a shawl eighteen feet long in which case I will cast off at 60 inches or so). And I think it's autumny- a lovely reddish brown, like oak leaves.
I'm thinking it will be just the thing to keep me from shivering like a leaf in the ice cold conference room at work. (Unless it's a day when the ice cold conference room is overheated and my coworkers and I swelter in it instead. It likes to keep us off balance. Kind of like fall.)
That will be a lovely shawl! I really need to make something out of lace weight. I love how it looks, but I never can seem to knit with it. I always end up frogging.
ReplyDeleteWhile I don't mind knitting with it, but making a fabric so open makes me twitch. I did go down a needle size for this project, but I'm telling myself to relax, it's supposed to be open!
DeleteThat is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! And, that is a perfect fall color! Happy knitting.
