Finally I have gotten it together to join Kat (and friends) for Unraveled Wednesday. I'm continuing to be in love with the wrap I'm working on - Match and Move - by Martina Behm. Her version is 2 colors, mine will be 4. Since this photo was taken (and yes, that's Tyg trying to photo-bomb), I've worked some more rows and now only have 10 rows left of the red before I start on the palest of greys.
The pale grey will continue in the same format as what I've done so far. Then, part two of the pattern starts which will turn the piece into a trapezoid shape. The four colors (dark grey, yellow, red, pale grey) will be repeated in part two. All are fingering yarns - some from stash and some new. I think this will be a perfect wrap for my office (which is always freezing in the summer) or on a breezy night.
Like others, I've had some difficulty getting into a book lately, but Bridget mentioned she was reading this book and I'm finding it just gossipy enough that it is fun. I really liked The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin and am enjoying this one as well.
Happy mid-week!!
Your Match and Move looks wonderful, and I'm really looking forward to watching it grow! Martina Behm is a very clever designer and I just may have to knit one of these myself someday. Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun project. I need a fun project. Time to go stash diving.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with offices? I keep mine well-stocked with woolies, because it's always so cold - all year round!
ReplyDeleteI have to pass your book love on to my Allison. She loves a good read
ReplyDeleteAnother fun project. Thanks for the links to the good reads.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a pleasant afternoon.
That is going to be SERIOUSLY beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteYour wrap is going to be absolutely gorgeous! (Apparently, even Tyg thinks so ...)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are enjoying the book. I found it fun, interesting, and also kind of sad.
I've been sort of . . . uninspired on the knitting front lately, but I usually have no problem in the reading department! So glad you found a book you're enjoying. (And the new shawl looks fun to knit!)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this pattern, so I need to check it out.
ReplyDeleteMy reading has stalled recently, too.
I'm very intrigued by your shawl - that trapezoid shape and those colors! - love seeing how it's knitting up. and I also loved Swans of Fifth Avenue (NYC is one of my favorite cities and I felt like it was one of the characters in the novel). You might also enjoy Amor Towles' Rules of Civility.
