The Sarah Blanch Feather shawl continues to grow. I’m on the seventh pattern repeat now. Two more pattern repeats after this one, and it’s ready to block.
I have a rule about only having one project on the needles at a time and working on that project until it is done. I call it “project monogamy,” and it’s the best way for me to get finished objects. Simply put, I work on one project, and only one project, until it is done.
In this particular case project monogamy has turned into project monotony. While I’m expecting this shawl to be very petty and I will look forward to wearing it, I’m no longer engaged in the process of knitting this piece. Maybe it’s the long rows. The pieces is cast on along the length and then rows build up the width. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s all garter stitch broken up by the occasional row of dropped stitches. Maybe it’s the combination: long rows of not much else than garter stitch.
knit, knit, knit, knit, knit, knit
Whatever it is, I’m ready for this piece to be off the needles so I can move on to something else.
