Last weekend, having completed the body of my Joy to the World - Dragons shawl I needed another easy knit to throw in my work bag. I’m back in the office full time again due to some technical/security issues with the VPN we use. I don’t really mind that much. I had never teleworked until COVID because I liked the clean break between work and home, and I’m enjoying that again. It isn’t quite as clean as it used to be because I have a work phone that I can check email and MS Teams on, but I don’t bring the computer home anymore. Anyway, I grabbed another six-skein set of minis that I had set aside for another Over the Moon variant shawl. At this point I am working on skein 4 and don’t have to refer to the pattern anymore as there are no more stitch doubling rows.
This set is part of an Advent set that was inspired by A Nightmare Before Christmas. This is the best set of that lot, the others are going to be more challenging to work with. It was a bold choice for an Advent set, and bold choices don’t always work out so well. I have a full sized skein picked out already, but I’m not sure if I will stick with that choice.
I may go for a blue skein, if I can find a good match. Or I may stay with the purple, after all, purple is my favorite color these days.
Pattern: Over the Moon by Vicki Mikulak
Yarn: The Unique Sheep 4 Ply SW Merino Fingering
