This past Thursday I stayed home from work. I felt like I was coming down with something and I have found that if I stay home and rest as soon as I feel something trying to get me I can usually kick it before it gets a hold of me. My brain was pretty fuzzy so I spent the morning finishing up the frogging of my first Liken shawl. Then I wound all of the balls of frogged yarn into skeins on my Niddy Noddy, soaked them and hung them up to dry. Then I started knitting my third Liken shawl. This time I am being more conscientious in my weighing of yarn and have my spreadsheet all set up so I can figure out how many repeats of the charts I can do. The skeins for this shawl have 110 grams each, so I was able to work 4 repeats of Chart A.
For my first Liken I used Berry-Lined Light Topaz beads throughout, but I wasn't sure I would have enough for this one, so I am using two different colors of beads, Nebula on the cream sections and the Berry-Lined Light Topaz on the purple sections.
Pattern: Liken by Sivia Harding, modified to be a circular cape
Yarn: Abstract Fibers O'Keefe in Pearl, Smitten and Burnside Bridge
