Go Go Gadget Garter Stitch!

When I finished my Northman Mittens, I had to figure out what I wanted to work on next! I threw a bunch of stuff in my knitting bag for our trip (Oh yeah, the trip! I have two more days worth of photos to show you. I’ll get on that very soon!) but never knitted a stitch.

But once I got back to town, I got started swatching. And now?



After lots and lots of swatching, I just picked a gauge that was close and gave me a fabric that I liked. I'm on a US 10.5 needle, so I'm zipping right along!

I’m a little past the halfway point on Shawl That Jazz. Mindless garter stitch. No-wrap short rows. I’m loving it and I think the finished project is going to be awesome. I’m into the second skein of Twisted and my rows keep getting shorter at an impressive rate. I know I’m going to be back to a metric crap-ton of stitches in short order, but meanwhile I’m having fun with it. Go, me with my first-ever shawl!
