I can feel it… springtime is-a-comin’! Maybe that’s why everything I’ve touched this week has some exciting bright and spring-y colors in it!
Different Lines
Last week, I started the Different Lines shawl… and I got pretty far. I’m now 4″ into the 6″ border- then I’ll be finished!
I just love it! I’ve loved knitting it, and I can already tell that it’ll be awesome when I’m done!
Unfortunately, I probably won’t finish it by Friday… but stay tuned!
Cashmere Socks
Last weekend, I cast on for a pair of Cashmere socks:
Isn’t the yarn so pretty? Since then, I’ve knit a 7″ cuff and have turned the heel:
I love the way the colors pooled on the heel flap (it’s just a knit 1, slip 1 pattern). I like working on these socks because they’re so portable: I can just fill in little idle moments while I’m out!
Experimenting
I’ve had the urge to do a little experimenting, and I wanted to play with triangles:
Maybe it’s perfect for a triangle-shaped monster? Or a funky blanket? I haven’t figured it out yet, but am having fun!
That’s what I’ve been up to this week! Have you been up to anything exciting? I hope you have an awesome Wednesday, and get some great knitting/crocheting done this week!

I LOVE the shawl! the colors are perfect together!
Everything looks great! I love the colors in your shawl. They are so springy!
Woooow, I love that shawl! I just started knitting merely a few days ago and I suddenly love to see all knitting-things around me :)
xo,
wink
Gorgeous shawl :)
I love the triangle, I can totally see a really cool blanket with those :)
LOVE! Different lines looks like spring in a shawl, it’s goregous! And cashmere socks sound so deliciously decadent. Lovely colours too. I am in love with knitted socks for their portability :)
Every time I see the picture of that shawl it makes me so happy! I love the colors so much!
I love love LOVE the shawl. And I vote for a triangle monster!
Your shawl looks fabulously spring-y… like watermelon! (which I suppose is more summer, but still, a happy color combo:))
The shawl is amazing – very spring and summer like. Makes me think of watermelon too!
It wouldn’t have occurred to me to put pink and green together, but it’s coming out so beautifully. So glad other people have a better knack for colour combinations than me.
