NaKniSweMo

Sorry I have been MIA. September and part of October are always very busy times for work. Nonetheless, I still had time to knit (incredibly).

 One of the reasons I was so busy was that I had a knitting deadline: to knit 10 prayer shawls by the beginning of November. I started in mid-July and finished in early October. It calculated to about one shawl a week. So rather than blog about the process, I simply knit.

Mr. Darcy posing with the ten completed prayer shawls. I had wanted to lay them out evenly across the couch, but there were too many. Seeing it like this, I couldn't believe how much I had knit!
I am currently working on a prayer shawl for a friend who will be ordained as a priest this December. I have been working on it for about two weeks and hope to finish it this week. 
A work in progress. I will have a better picture of the completed shawl. You can find the pattern here: Seven Sacraments Shawl

 There are also a few holiday projects that I'm working on: dish cloths with my extra yarn, jewelry for friends and co-workers, and decorative scarves for my mom's friends. I still need to re-submit some swatches for the Master's Program (just haven't gotten around to it). And I need to finish a shawl from a craftsy course.

 Did I mention that I want to knit my first socks?

 THEN I find out that November is knit a sweater month: NaKniSweMo. There is a sweater and a vest that I have been wanting to knit for myself for about a year now. So, I will do my best to finish the prayer shawl so I can start that sweater...and all of the other stuff.

 Needless to say, I will be busy and far from needle-less. 

 Happy knitting!
