Yesterday I was taking pictures of my WIP with the half-formed WIP Wednesday idea in mind. We got a phone call saying my mother in law is laid up in the hospital so that kind of got derailed. With this in mind, I've cast on Miralda's Triangular Shawl from the incomparable Nancy Bush's Knitted Lace of Estonia. I'm 30 rows in after 2 hours, and I intend on finishing this before Monday so that she'll have something to keep her warm while she's laid up. No pictures available at the moment, and possibly not until Monday.
For the record, this pattern is very enjoyable. I like the working method of knitting the longest knit runs at the beginning very much. This way when I'm reaching pattern burnout I'll be knitting the shortest rows and the promise of finishing the project will drive me on.
I've cast on using KnitPicks palette yarn in blush, the yarn is springy and warm with a nice sheen to it, but I find the blush color a bit overpowering baby pink in the pattern. I'll be dying this after it's knit.
Anyway, off to the hospital.
