    Here we go again! The new sample for the Berry Sco Here we go again! The new sample for the Berry Scone Shawl is slowly growing. 

I did a lot of work on it over the weekend while we watched a couple movies and had some family get together. This one doesn’t have an actual deadline, though, so I’m going to have to set it aside for some other, more urgent project. 

Stay tuned for updates later.

And yet, it’s so important to know what a shawl looks like in its entirety, which you can really only see when the shawl is laid flat, hung across a wide span, or spread out across something.

These photos give you a sense of just how big this shawl is and how the stitch pattern looks across the entire thing.

Pattern coming on Friday! Make sure you’re on my newsletter to get the release weekend discount. If you’re not there yet, comment “newsletter” and you’ll get a DM so you can sign up.
    Glimmers of joy from recent wanderings and adventu Glimmers of joy from recent wanderings and adventures. I’ve been knitting socks (as usual), wallowing in floral bed linens, taking walks among the cutest little houses, and so on.

Remember, you can find joy without spending a ton of money. Stop to sniff your neighbor’s flowers as you pass by on your walk. Take a picture of something unexpected. Sing your favorite song while you cook dinner.

Joy is all around if you just know where to look for it.
    I hope you have some weekend knitting time schedul I hope you have some weekend knitting time scheduled for today or tomorrow! Weekend knitting just feels different.

And yes, that actually is what my desk looks like while I’m working. It’s piled high with yarn and random socks, and sometimes I sweep everything off into a basket, but usually I just keep knitting.
