That's happening here and I tell myself that things will get better as winter approaches again.

Ooh, pretty shawls. I've really been going back and forth a lot on this trip about shawl shape. I used my big shawl both as a triangle and as a rectangle, and... I just can't decide what I really like. But yay for a book that lets you make the choice a bit more often. That's actually quite awesome. Aw, poor socks. Ooh, pretty shawls.

Sometimes the knitting mojo just ain't there. I do love the shawl patterns...I'm feeling like I want to do a lace shawl this summer but somehow I don't think I'm gonna get around to it. Poor socks.

Thanks for the link. I'm sorry to hear your sock mojo is out of whack. Let's hear it for stockinette stitch! I think those faroese shawls are just gorgeous. I can't wait to see what yarns you use for them and how they knit up. I love those Marigold socks! Thanks for the link. I’m sorry to hear your sock mojo is out of whack.

I'm sorry to see the socks go, and flattered that you're considering Marigold when you go back to fancy patterns -- such pressure! ;) Great shawls!

I guess I can't blame that on a pattern that has been successfully knit by hundreds of people!
