Sunshower Shawl

I’ve been knitting and I know a bunch of other people who are knitting so, in my mind, everyone knits. Not so, you say? Get to it. It’s good for you.

The Sunshower Shawl is a current Ambah O’Brien/Jimmy Beans KAL and it goes on all year long. This is how mine looks after Month #3. After I committed to knitting this I wondered how I could get myself into a 12 month project. Hey. I did that last year with the 2018 Temperature Blanket and again this year with my 2019 Temperature Table Runner. That’s sorta lagging behind but it’s quick to catch up with that one.

Yesterday I started another KAL after I told myself and others that I was done with those KALs. The new one is through Mason-Dixon Knitting and is using the designs from the Field Guide No. 10 Downtown. Field Guide No. 10

I’m cruising along but am now in a mini procrastination on the current round since it has a stitch manipulation that I have never experienced before. It’s going to take a long time to get around all these yoke stitches with all this slipping and passing over. I’ll share a photo sometime along the way after I take one.

Speaking of KALs and challenges. My #19 of 2019 for the Vogue Knitting Ravelry group is done. I’ve been downstairs in my basement several times today and keep forgetting to bring it up with me since it’s been blocking for two days now and has to be dry. On my trips down I’ve done three loads of laundry and rode my bike on the trainer. If I had my phone and some music with me my ride would have been longer than five minutes. Since bike riding without traveling doesn’t track on my Garmin Vivoactiv I’ve learned to hook it to the velcro on my shoe. It adds up the pedaling as steps. Ha.
