Trying Again

My sewing mojo has been fairly strong, though I admit there are a dozen + half-finished string blocks waiting for attention. My knitting mojo, aside from a spate of mini sweaters in the days leading to Christmas, has been non-existant for a while. I think I may have found the answer...

Hanami. My friend Lorri has decided to dive into lack knitting with Hanami and it's been on my list of things to knit since I saw it a few years ago. So, I decided to join her in the process. It's good to have someone to commiserate with over the pain of having to move stitch markers and moving lifelines.

I'm adding silver lined beads throughout the shawl because I had to break them out for the cast on and it seemed silly to put them back after I'd seen a few on Ravelry that were accented well with beads.

I've just started the second repeat of the initial pattern and am not hating it, so hopefully this project will stick. If not, Lorri will probably stick me and that's good enough motivation to continue!

We have summer here, but I am knitting socks, nice and small and not all over my lap like hand quilting,saving that for cool rainy days.

I made a Hanami for my mom---- it's one of the favorite things I've made. (there's a pic on Ravelry)
