Before I even finished my first shawl design, I began designing my second shawl, as designing shawls is so much fun. When my first shawl, Cabaret Swing, in Musings from Mercury Hall, was taken up by Hill Country Weavers, I knew I wanted a second one to offer through my website and Ravelry.
That second one, name pending, is now off the needles and it is as fantastic as I thought it would be. It is very hard to design something that starts with 10 stitches and grows to 573 stitches over 106 rows and not be impatient to see if what I imagined it to be is what it was becoming. It still has to be blocked before I release pictures, but it is as beautiful as ever I had hoped. I am totally thrilled!
It will take some days to write up the instructions and get it on Ravelry, but now that I have proof that it works, I will focus on getting the pattern done. Tomorrow I show my shawl to other knitters (I showed my husband and he agrees it is lovely, but others knitters will know what went into it) and finalize a name.
I am so pumped! I did this! It was conceived and executed by me and it is great! Pictures tomorrow, if possible.
