I’m knitting the Icarus shawl from the Interweave Knits Summer 2006 issue. So far I’m nearing completion of the first part of the first graph.

The yarn: Moorit Shetland fiber I bought through Little Barn that I spun up.

I finally finished knitting Josey’s blanket and it’s waiting for me to seam the two panels together. I cast off the blanket in the wee hours of the morning and somehow managed to convince myself that I was too tired to sew up the blanket but not too tired to browse lace patterns. After sorting through patterns online the Icarus caught my eye– and lo! It is actually in one of the few Interweave Knits issues that I actually own.
I consider that a sign.

Okay, maybe not as impressive as a chorus of angels and a divine light cast down from heaven to illuminate the magazine. But a sign nonetheless.

The fact that I found the magazine, needles, and yarn in less than 10 minutes of looking only supports my faith that I am meant– destined to knit this shawl. Destiny cannot be ignored.
