Making Monday: Deadlines and Rainbows
This past Friday I finished spinning the Zauberzeug fiber. I still need to ply it, but it is ready to be chain plyed. A nice rainbow ball that I wound off the drop spindle. I am planning to finish this soon but it has been put aside for a surprise project.
I’m making a shawl I have to finish by next Thursday. So far so good. I am using a new to me yarn Sylph by Jade Sapphire. It is a Cashmere, Linen blend and having felt it worked up and washed softens like a dream. I am making the Peacock Shawlette which a made before for my 11 shawls in 2011 so I know its a quick knit and its a bottom up shawl perfect for keeping the momentum going.
I did the math and I have to knit 9 rows a day to still have some time to block. As of last night I was on row 33, and 49 is the last lace row. So I am about 5 rows ahead of schedule with no Monday knitting yet counted. We will see the status on weds. There are 9 rows of lace left so 18 total. Completely doable.
