Zo gaat het met het breien ook. Schreef ik een paar dagen geleden nog enthousiast over de ColourMart Spring Contest 2011 en mijn Lerwick Lace, hij ligt nu al dagen in een stil hoekje. Ik heb het middenpaneel al wel afgekregen, en ben al begonnen met de 2e rand... tot ik afgeleid werd.
As you might be able to understand, things are going up and down in our house. Busy times with lots of appointments, telephonecalls, arrangements and stuff, and quieter times where you can crash.
That how it's going with the knitting too. Did I write about the ColourMart Spring Contest a few days ago, and my Lerwick Lace shawl? It's in a lonely corner of the couch right now for days. I did finish the centerpanel already (extra lacy) and started the second edging.. that is untill I got distracted.

I had this yarn specially dyed for myself. I had spotted it on Etsy, but it was in fingering. So convo-ed with the shopowner and she dyed it for me in laceweight. In reality it is a bit more olive coloured. Together they make a 1300 y skein.

Last year I made a design; Little Apples. And low and behold, people like it and there is even someone who has already knitted 2 shawls with my design. On the Breidag I was gifted a ball by her and her of original Estonian yarn, perfect for a original estonian pattern and a chance to promote my own design.
Last week on Ravelry, I noticed I hadn't put this shawl in Hibernation yet. I was wondering why because I hadn't worked on it for a long time. The picture above is how it looked last week, and picture below is how it looks now. It is the Spring Shawl so I still have a lóng way to go.
Of is dit nu wat ze noemen 'wild breien' ....
I also have a few commissions coming in, a couple of long days with Chris in the hospital, so I have no idea how this will continue.
Or.. is this what they mean by 'wild knitting'...
