My blog is suffering from lack of documentation of knitting per se, but Forest Canopy is at the point where, if I were knitting as written, I would have already been on the edging rows. But since I’m using fingering (sock) weight yarn instead of sport weight yarn, and it’s already sized as a shoulder shawl as written, and I don’t need a neckerchief (wink), I’m keeping on keeping on and will start the second skein of yarn soon. Other projects horn in, but I knit a little here and there.

I also have my second lace project simultaneously knitting, since this is a herd-a-cat knit-a-long after all, a test knit in lace weight which you saw barely begun a few weeks ago on m’blog, nestling by my crocuses. Knitting/life opportunities for this kind of more intense concentration seem to be limited, so I’m still on the setup rows, but I got some done in the car yesterday, and I hope this weekend to make progress. And even take pictures. It’s knitting up lovely, all kudos to the designer and hand-dyer.

When I was in Seattle, I got some Mountain Colors yarn in lovely greens, a worsted weight, that I thought would be great for a chunky quick knit slightly larger Forest Canopy. It is a rather addictive easy lace pattern, people are right!

Your progress looks lovely. How many repeats are you planning?

Now do you see why I think FB is a great first triangle shawl? It’s easy to read the lace once you’ve done a few repeats and it’s easy enough to memorize.

btw, for what it’s worth – I think you take pretty good pictures. ;o)
