Show Your Stitches!
Wednesday, January 14, 2009 at 9:27PM
You heard me, show your stitches baby!
Whilst planning my visit to Stitches West this year, I thought it would be nice to show off some knits on the day of my visit. Since I'll be enjoying a full day of Stitches with Marisol I thought it would be fun for both of us to knit the same pattern to sport on our day of wooly dreamy paradise. Marisol being the "shawl queen" that she is was on board fast and opted for a shawl. We went through several patterns being that there is less than a month until Stitches West 2009.
After our searching we singled out one pattern, but before I share, let me say our endeavors took on another level. We started the "Show Your Stitches" group on Ravelry, for anyone that wants to show what they'll be "showing off" when they visit Stitches. So many of us go to Stitches and yet so many of don't show off our Stitches! So, if your've interested, feel free to join the group and share your projects. It can be anything from a glamourous stole to a knitted wristlet. Since there are Stitches every year, were hoping this will become an annual event where each year we share projects that are destined to be worn for visits to Stitches.
For Marisol and I, we are knitting along the Swallowtail! I started the other night, already frogged once because I tried to knit this tired at 11:30 p.m. at night, so teaches me, right!
I'm using the Black Madeira Fig colorway from the Magnolia Society club. I absolutely love this colorway, it's too irresistable and I'm loving how it's knitting up.
This is it's pretty skeined form
Ooh, yummy yarn cake
and voila, here's my seedlet shawl
I'm about 50% of the way through the first round of repeats which hits 195 stitches. I haven't spent much time on it, but so far so good. I planning on sporting this baby with a rich dark brown shirt and some jeans. If I have time I'll knit up some smaller coordinating projects, but for now my main goal is my shawl.
In other news, I've also joined a few groups or swaps... and here they are:
Love Bits swap
A Valentine vampire themed swap for all those gothic goodies 8)
Hogwarts A Little Bit of Everything
Harry Potter themed, obviously, unless you muggles don't know of this magical world? This is the first every HP swap I've been able to join, so I'm super stoked for this one.
My time is getting busy again, I just can't seem to keep it free, but how can you resist fun themed swaps and gorgeous patterns to knit?

Awesome shawl! I can't wait to see it knit up. I hope to make it to stitches east this year. We shall see though. You should check out HSKS7 if you are interested in Harry Potter swaps. It was the first swap I did and I LOVED it. We have so much fun there. :)
Pretty yarn! I'm glad it's coming along so well.
