Knitting Report – March 10, 2018

This week was definitely not my normal week. As crazy as it was with Vince being in the hospital and all the trips to doctors, it seemed like days would never end and yet it all went by so quickly. I think I was pretty exhausted and don’t have much to show for what I did this week.

Patterns Added:

• Carbeth Cardi
• Bronwyn
• Blooming Sakura Shawl
• Siren Song Shawl

Yarn Added:

The March exclusive colorways from ESK arrived.

It’s all from Three Irish Girls and the first is Calypso in Adorn Luxe.

The second is three skeins of DK and 2 skeins of Adorn Luxe in the colorway Just Keep Swimming.

The third is Poseidon’s Treasure in Adorn Luxe.

Projects I Worked On:

I did find and work on my March UFO (DaVinci Cowl) a bit but don’t have a photo of it.

Mostly what I’ve worked on has been the Siren Song Shawl.

I also started Carbeth Cardi and made a little progress on it before putting it down to work on the KAL.

This is the same list I had last week and the week before that. and . . you know this isn’t going well . . the week before that!

# of UFOs:

These numbers do not count hibernating projects. Some hibernating projects have not been started but the yarn has been set aside so I keep them in my “projects” for my own ease of planning. Some hibernating projects should be ripped back and forgotten about. These numbers are the projects that really should be finished.
