Off The Wagon
Oops. I forgot to pay attention to my fingers for a couple of hours and look what they did–
They cast on the Sheep Shawl. Only four days early. That has to count for something, right?
Originally, I had planned to cast this on the first day of summer vacation to celebrate being student-free for three months. It was so hard waiting. I’d go to SnB and see all the neat projects that the other gals were working on, or I’s open up my stash and the Zephyr would tumble out to entice me, and then I got my brand new KP Options that wanted to be used so badly. So I decided–why torture myself? This is a self-imposed rule–no one’s going to punish me if I toss the rule out the window; my husband isn’t going to divorce me; my fish aren’t going to shun me.
I am loving this pattern even if I do have to stare at the chart for every row. But I think if I knit this again, I’ll purl the even rows instead of knitting them. To me, stockinette looks prettier then garter stitch. I appreciate that the shawl will be reversible though. Here’s a detail shot. I am at on the sunshine chart.

Isn’t it funny how we impose those rules on ourselves? Sometimes you just have to throw those rules out the window and seize the yarn! Carpe Yarnem!
