Section one - Done!

Well, the shawl is coming along nicely.  I finished section 1 yesterday, and cast on for part two with color B, only to realize that I should have cast on with color A, so ripped out that part. Now I have the cast on stitches done and am ready to start knitting section 2.



It is easier to see the design in the first photo. I took them inside, so the color is not so intense.

NHA Gathering Fiber Challenge

I have spun up the fiber and then some for the Fiber Challenge for The Gathering in November. It is a little thicker than I wanted. I was originally going to use a single, but spun it too tight, so had to ply it. I guess I need to take a class on spinning singles. Too bad I didn't sign up for that class at the Gathering. Anyway, I cast on for the pattern I am making last night while at the races. I dropped a stitch, and had to cast on again, as it is Tillibuddy's Very Stretchy Cast on and I couldn't figure out how to pick up the stitches I had dropped. So, now to keep working and hope I have enough yarn.
