This is the start of Bethuen. My previous attempts at a new shawl design were swiftly derailed when I realized the handspun I'd picked wasn't right for what I'd had in mind. Since I'm on a yarn diet this year, going out and buying yarn that would work isn't an option. So, I pulled out a couple skeins of sock yarn and looked for a pattern. This, I think, is Fleece Artist in the Aegean colorway. I've already completed the first eyelet row.
If the rain would only stop (I think I might be developing webbed toes), I could get my potatoes planted. According to the forecast, I might be able to get them in the ground on Friday. Or Saturday morning. I'm late, late, late with the planting.
Skip the potato planting and finish the shawl. The world is ending on Saturday (or so I'm told), so the potatoes would just go to waste. But you might be able to wear the shawl as you are transported to who knows where ;-D
