Quick work

I’m impressed with myself. I knit the Duchess of Devonshire shawl in 21 days. That’s quite quick for me. I used to feel like I’m a slow knitter but that seems to be changing. A whole shawl in less than a month is quite a feat for me. It’s beautiful too.

I’m currently wearing it at work and it’s nice and warm. Not too heavy but dense enough to be snuggly.

Since my yarn for my sweater isn’t supposed to be here until tomorrow and I finished the shawl on the 20th, I pulled out the bias advent wrap to tide me over. This one is going to take me longer than 21 days (already has).

I haven’t made much progress since the last picture

With my sweater yarn expected tomorrow, I’ll probably be starting it this week when it arrives. I’m both excited and nervous. The first sweater turned into a slog by the end. Hopefully I can hold on to my motivation for this one and it doesn’t end up feeling the same. Plus I want to push through it quickly so I can wear it while it’s still cold. We’ll see how long it takes me.
