Progress!

I'm making progress but I don't see it being done by the end of the month.  I'm making a shawl out of this pattern:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/icehouse  I'm also worried that I didn't get enough of the blue yarn.

Yarn:  Cascade Yarns Avalon in Red Orange and Blue Radiance.

I'm Not Going To Make It

This is the start of my Icehouse KAL.  The other piece was just a sample and I realized that I will have to knit and write out my pattern as I go.  I need 2 more knit rows and then I can start the pattern.  I won't be making the Feb 28th deadline for sure!

Must Design Faster!

I'm running out of time to get this done.  It needs to be done by the end of Feb.  I'm writing and will be knitting as a go.  I have up to row 20 written and I'll need at least 70 for the pattern.  The shawl will decrease to a point after that.

Writing it out and test knitting it

I finally started this.  I'm not going to be keeping the test knit.  I'm knitting it to make sure my written instructions match the picture.  I already notice that the books on the sides were missing part of their heads.  It's slow going since I need to count and write it out then knit it.  The yarn is leftover Bugga (sport weight).  The orange is what I want the blue needs to be brighter.  I'm going to knit the shawl in fingering weight.  Here is the pattern:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/icehouse
