Monday, Monday
(Ba da, ba da da da…I hope you’re humming The Mamas & The Papas all day long, haha.)
Sorry for the delay in posting…the road trip to see the Harlot took a lot of time, and meant I spent the rest of the week playing catch-up, school-wise. (It was completely worth it!) Here are some things I’m working on:
NQS Scarf (from All Buttoned Up) for the OFA‘s Red Scarf Project. (OFA = Orphan Foundation of America. They serve young people who have aged out of the Foster system. It’s a pretty neat group.) They’ve moved up the deadline for the scarves this year, so I thought I’d have more time, but it turns out I don’t. That pic makes it look like it could be long. It’s not:
I’m a bit worried, because I tend to stall out on scarves about 3/4 of the way through and have to take an extended break before I can finish them. I just get bored of doing the same thing over and over again. Hopefully though, since this one has a deadline, I can power through it!
I also cast on for the Pinnate Shoulder Shawl (from KarenJoSeattle), which I really like! It’s the first lace wrap I’ve done (exciting!) and it’s a pretty simple lace pattern, which is good. I’m making it with some BS Cotton Fleece (from the stash! whoop!), which is a joy to work with. Here’s a an overview:
And a closeup:
It’s funny because I think it looks different from hers, in large part because it’s not a variegated yarn, but I still really like it. Hopefully I can get it done soon!
Allrighty, that’s it for now! One of the secret FOs has been delivered and opened, so I’ll post that shortly! Y’all have a great week! =)

Not only does the variegation change the look, but mine is blocked to within an inch of its life. I have photos of ones I did in Kureyon and Silken and each looks a bit different.
I look forward to seeing how yours progresses.
i’m casting on for this shawl as we speak. as i type. hopefully it will keep me occupied on the trip to the double h. i want to see your secret FO!
