I did something terrifying tonight, especially at this time of the year. I. Went to The Mall. Generally, I avoid the mall on general principles the rest of the year. This time, though, I needed something from JCPenney and risked the mall at Christmas. Fortunately, I didn't need to park in the next county since I went right after work and before the evening's influx of shoppers. I got what I needed (a mock turtleneck) and was home before the insanity started.
My next project has been chosen. Another shawl, this one with cables - the Sunset Shawl. Sadly, I can't wear yellow or gold so I had to come up with another color. I can't seem to veer too far away from blue so Knitpicks will be sending me some of this:
Swish Worsted in the Marine Heather colorway. I'm thinking my next one will be knitted using Swish again but either in the Dublin or Peapod colorway. It's not too far from blue but it'll do for now. I need to do some stash diving again and see if I can come up with some suitable handspun for another project.
Happy Holidays!
That shawl looks like a lot of fun to knit! Gorgeous color.
As someone who works in retail, I can tell ya that this time of year is scary...
