How are you all? I'm great! I've started work again which means I'm a lot busier than I was before. I'm rehearsing again 6 days a week, for the next ship I'm going on! Time is flying when you're at work again, so before I know it I'll be sailing again!
I've shared my little wish to start designing some knitting patterns with you all. Well, I've had a little go at it, and it's definitely not easy! I've been trying, and ripping back, and throwing my knitting on the floor in frustration! I'm not very patient when it comes to knitting or crocheting in general! If I can't finish a shawl/scarf in about a week, than I don't really see the point of making it anymore or I lose interest! The worst is when I run out of yarn, I'll start another project with other yarn that's in stash, and forget all about the project I was making. But I've been very good recently, there's only one project that needs finishing, but the yarn has already arrived!
So, back to designing! I came up with a scarf. I don't want to say too much yet, since it's not completely finished yet! I'm working on my second prototype at the moment of the same design. I wasn't completely happy with the first prototype, so decided to simplify and change some things.
Let's start you off with a little teaser pic!
This is all you're getting for now ;-) You can sort of see where it's going..
I'll share some keywords with you:
- Top Down Shawl
- Unique Center Cable
- 2 colors (could eventually be made in 1 as well)
- Short Row Shaping
I'll keep you updated on my progress!
Have a lovely Sunday evening! (depending on your timezone :-p)

Ooh, I'm very excited to see what this one looks like.
