Yup, I wasn't feeling the love for Bethuen. I wanted something more interesting than garter stitch so she got frogged. I've moved on to Andrea's Shawl (Ravelry link). This one is knit bottom up starting with the edging:
This is about 20 repeats so far. Only 91 more to go. Yeah, this one's going to take me a while. The two shawls I've made previously have been knit top down and I wanted to mix it up a bit. Since Andrea's Shawl is knit bottom up, each row will get shorter. Yay! Lacy bits at the bottom and stockinette at the top will give me the interest I need without the need to tear my hair out. Plus,there are also color changes; I'm using the Fleece Artist "Aegean" from Bethuen and Knitpicks Gloss (70% Merino/30% silk) in white.
They're saying no rain for the weekend which makes me happy, happy. I've got a spin-in to go to on Saturday but first thing in the morning I'll be getting my potato boxes ready and the taters planted. Apparently the world is supposed to end Saturday (anyone know what time?) so I suppose there's no point in planting said potatoes but I'm going to throw caution to the wind and plant them anyway. Who knows, we may still be here for the Fall harvest.
Have a nice weekend!
