I had to put the shawl on hold til Saturday when I can get a longer needle. I think I will pick up the 120cm one for this project. I have been trying to use a 29″ and a 24″ together, but I don’t like it.
I started working on the celtic spiral socks though, and they are progressing nicely. I am about half-way through the first cuff. When I am done, I will post my interpretation of the pattern, but not before contacting the source of the chart and asking if I can share.
I received a bunch of books yesterday from the Interweave clearance sale, including Alice Starmore’s Aran Knitting. There’s some stuff in there that I will make, maybe one of the shawls of aran weight wool would make a nice gift, and a good place to practice cables before starting a cabled sweater where gauge matters more!
