Spectra!

It's finished! I asked a coworker to take these photos. It was highly amusing to me. She said things about "negative space" and told me what to do. Clearly, I should quit my day job and become a model for knitwear.

Here is the Dramatic Arm Gesture I promised you, also known as "WALL! It's been so long since I've seen you! You look great!! Hug me now!"

Henslowe is finished!

I've knit a couple small shawls like this now (the other one being the Nefertem), and I'm pleased with the amount of use they're getting. It's possible I'm going to become someone who wears scarf-y, shawl-y, wrap-y things with some regularity.

This also seems like a good way to use some of the very pretty, very difficult to find a pattern for, variegated sock-weight yarn I have. I'm drawn to the sock yarn with a lot of colors, but I have a hard time finding sock patterns that don't get lost in that type of yarn. 

I'm deep in the throes of Spectra right now. I'm knitting it with a black border and Roller Skate wedges.

There's a lot more done than this picture shows, but I want to save the reveal for when it's finished. It will be a Reveal with lots of Dramatic Arm Gestures. I have 70 of 86 wedges finished, so I'm hopeful to get it done and blocked this week.
