Busy As Can Be

Okay, okay.

Maybe not all that busy.

But I have been having FUN ! ! 

I've joined a couple of KALs on Ravelry

so have been knitting right along.

opps, for those who don't know,

KALs are when a group Knits ALong together on a common project.


Oh, there are a number of links.  To follow the link,
just click on the colored text.

I've joined Diane at her Rav group

Knitabulls

I chose to knit the Valentine Scarf

by Shui Kuen Kozinski

It's an easy pattern,

even if it's been slow going for me.

However, it's moving along.

You may recognize the yarn from my previous post.

Another KAL I've joined is at

Sockbunny Knit & Fit Rav Group

We're knitting the

Citron Shawl.

I'm using Malabrigo Lace Yarn

in Garnet.

It's a brownish-orange.

Kinda the color of a,

well, the color of a Garnet.

Honestly, the lace weight yarn is easier to work with than I originally thought.

I'm up to the Fourth Section of Five,

though I think I'll make it at least a couple of sections beyond that 

since it's still pretty much a shawlette size and I do have more yarn remaining,

guess I'll keep knitting 'til the yarn runs out.

It's designer,

Hilary Smith Callis

describes as such:

"notice a resemblance to a slice of citrus due to its semi-circular shape and increases subtly radiating from the center. With its bit of ruffle and ruching, "

Her description is spot on.

I couldn't leave the dye pot on the shelf,

had to pull it out

along with

three dyes:

brilliant yellow,

deep magenta

and bright aqua.

And came away with this:

This is what I've been up to, what about you?

Brrrrrrr,

oh, baby, it's cold outside.
