Knit, tat, knit


Yes, I'm dividing my time. I finally finished week 2 of the Tournament of Stitches mystery shawl. I'm really enjoying it, but I sure am slow! Many of the participants have already finished. I'm just getting started with week 3 with week 4 still to come.


Knitting is not keeping me from tatting. I carry my little bag with me every day and tat every chance I get.


However, I have been distracted by another knitting project. Marly Bird is doing a sweater knit-along and I couldn't resist. I've never knit a sweater for myself, and I figure now is as good a time as any. It took two tries to get a correct gauge swatch. I'm using Red Heart Hygge Charm in Eclipse. Can you see the little bit of sparkle in it?

  1. Looking good! I’m guessing that the people ahead of you on the shawl are not working on so many projects at once.

    1. I'm sure that's a big part of it, but I also started a week late and my knitting time was limited with family visiting. I also spent a lot of time subbing, and I only take simple projects with me when I sub. I'm enjoying the project, so I don't mind that I"m behind!
