I am currently knitting on The Curator Shawl by Grace Anna Farrow. A lovely designer that I get the opportunity to chat with on Ravelry.com from time to time. Her aesthetic is clean lines and simple beautiful colors, a fan, I am in my best Yodaspeak. I am making the square version, but somewhat smaller than the pattern calls for -- but loving this so far. I have finally begun the decrease side so the finish line is within sight. The yarn is Fleece Artist Blue Face Leicester 2/8, in the Masala colorway. So festive and summery; I think it will block out to a decent real woman size, heh. I hope to finish this before the end of the month so I can proudly flaunt it.
The other shawl on the needles is the Melon Pattern for a Shawl or Scarf from Victorian Lace Today. I signed up for a KAL (knit-a-long for non-knitters) in the Dragonfly Fibers Ravelry Group. This is a lovely group of knitters that love Dragonfly Fibers yarns. The inspiration behind these gorgeous yarns is the wonderful Kate Chiocchio. Love her! The yarn I am using for this shawl is Dragon Lace in the Fire Star colorway. The most beautiful red with golden highlights and . . just WOW! I would love to have some of this in her Velvet Underground colorway -- maybe it will be a future request.
I made good progress on it thus far but had to put it down for a little while to finish the Curator. I want to use it on a trip my hubby and I are taking at the end of the month.
The other two shawls I am loving and itching to start are Veera Välimäki's 3/4 Hap Shawl and Veronik Avery's Travel Shawl from her new book which I have mentioned in previous entries. I don't know how much longer I can hold out.
Wish me luck!
Blessings
