I’m definitely in a knitting phase right now and am finding it very restful and nourishing.

The latest item on my needles is the melodia shawl using Manos del Uruguay Fino in Admiral that I’d bought for that abandoned striped cowl.

It’s a merino and silk blend and undoubtedly the most expensive yarn I’ve ever bought, but it is amazing to knit with and incredibly soft!

The pattern is quite a bit less challenging than the enormous Be Kind shawl, but I am enjoying the process. I did not knit a gauge swatch and stuck to the recommended needle size. I’d not done a garter tab cast on before either, so I’m interested to see how it all turns out.

I’m fairly confident I’ll be done by the weekend and I already have two more shawls ready to go. Amazingly not in any shade of blue.
