Radio Silence

I fell off of the face of the planet for a bit. Somewhere along the way, I finished section 2 of the KnitPicks Hue Shift afghan.

Then I started and completed my first ever shawl, using KnitPicks Stroll Hand Painted sock yarn. The Colorway is Make Believe. The pattern is free on Ravelry, link here.

I added an extra repeat of the lace pattern because I wanted to make sure the shawl was large enough to wrap around my shoulders if needed. The semester starts soon and classrooms are always so cold.

For the first time ever, I gave myself a tennis elbow because I was knitting on this shawl so much. My boyfriend got an ice pack for me to wrap around my elbow, left the room for a few minutes, and when he came back in I was back to knitting with the ice pack on. We argued for a few minutes and he convinced me to put down the knitting for one night because I needed to take a break for my elbow. It was worth it!
