Icarus update
I’m on the 5th repeat of the 1st chart and through my first ball of yarn. I wasn’t sure how to join the second ball, since overlapping the two strands for a few inches seemed like it might work now then stand out when the shawl is blocked I grafted the two together ever so carefully, leaving just a little overlap that can be trimmed out after blocking if need be.
This part of the shawl is going fast. My husband is assisting by renting lots of CSI episodes from the last two seasons. CSI= knitting. Remember that, there may be a short quiz.
Opal (aka the Akamai Knitter) made my whole family the most delightful scarves for Christmas, the box was here earlier but I have been sick so haven’t had a chance to photograph everything. I am still sick so I haven’t indulged in the chocolate yet, but I’m wearing the kickass scarf she made for me. I promise I’ll post pictures of the scarves and the children modelling them. Yes, there is yarn too, of course there is yarn– Opal is a goddess of yarny goodness.
