Shelter in Place: Day 126. Definitely had to check the calendar for that number. I’m well beyond the point of counting anymore. I’ve got a special treat to share today: AKC! Actual Knitting Content! woooo
It’s happening, slowly. Slow and steady wins the race! And this is definitely a win!! The pattern is No. 10 by Lori Versace. It’s perfect for stashbusting. I started with just a few greens.
And now it’s grown into all the greens! I think I only bought green yarn last year, so it’s all going according to plan.
My green itch is really getting scratched. I put it on waste yarn to check out the size. I’ve theoretically got two stripes left. I may only do one. We’ll see how long it takes me to get it back on the needles.
Just in case that takes forever, I’ve got a quick green hat on the needles. (It’s gonna be a while before I run out of green yarns!) The hat is another Tensfield. I’m still loving the unique construction. It’s a super fun knit and it looks great on. It’s a perfect hat.
All of the green knitting is perfect today! I hope you’ve all got perfect knitting today too! It’s a small part of the world right now but I’ll take it!
Also, stayed tuned for a format change. I’ve been thinking about it for a while. Might give it a go this week. I think it’s finally time! Anything is possible!
How on earth did you find so much green yarn? I really struggle to get any, especially in nice fibres.

Just time, I spent years collecting green yarns…I always say I’m going to buy sweater quantities of but I never do. Without fail, I’m always buying single skeins. To give myself a slight bit of direction, I stick to a color. The past two years it’s been green. I think it’s time to pivot to blue though :) I think I’m ready for a change.

I really love the look of that shawl! Is it a pain to knit

it IS intarsia which can be a pain BUT it’s only two colors per row, with just one point where you switch colors. It all garter stitch so in my mind, it’s not a pain at all. I love it. I definitely think I’ll knit another one in the future.

I love the monochromatic look. A blue or purple version will definitely be in my future :)

Love hearing from you. Your San Francisco musings are always welcome since I grew up so close to the City. Is it really 126 days? Please tell me you can get outside for a few brief moments now and then. The City’s air is probably is so clean now. When I grew up it was constant smog. You couldn’t see across the bay. And all your green knitting is wonderful.
