Here’s what I’ve been working on this month. Despite the fact work became really hectic and FIRST started, I’ve actually had a lot of knitting time. In case you’re curious, I’ve little to no work on the shawl for my mom (takes far too much concetration), the hat for Sterling, or the shawl for myself.
I’ve got three different scarfs going right now. The first two are both using the Multidirectional Diagonal Scarf (link, Ravelry). I really like this pattern as it’s very simple yet results in a cool effect.
This one is for myself using Araucania Ranco Multi and size 3 needles.
And this one is being at the request of my boss, Eileen, using Trendsetter Tonalita and size 7 needles. She was really great and paid for the yarn. I really wanted to make her something as thanks for getting me my current job.
When Eileen’s daughter, Rachel, found out I was making her mom a scarf, she requested one, as well. Here’s progress on hers. It’s in her school colors of Rowan Cashsoft DK and Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece. The pattern is called Vertigo (link). This is my first time doing anything with two colors (other than Danica) and it’s far easier than I anticipated. I’m hoping to finish this before Spring Break then start back working on the scarf for Eileen.
That is some beautiful work! I am very impressed with the scarves. I love the color work and I am intimidated by it. Perhaps now I will feel brave enough since you say it’s not so bad.
