I finally took a photo of the Reyna I finished #knitting last week. This was the second Reyna I did for the ReynaKAL; the yarn is reclaimed from a 13-year old WIP that I frogged.

Pattern: Reyna
Yarn: Knit Picks Stroll Multi (sock yarn), colorway Peacock (discontinued)

My modified #ReynaKAL shawl is almost done. I just need to work in the ends and block it.

An added benefit to having to unravel and bind off earlier is that I saw that it was curling badly. (I’m not used to lace doing that.) I noted that my garter stitch rows are tighter than my lace, so I went up a needle size for the final three garter rows and bind off. It’s not a cure, but it helped.

#knitting #FiberArts no advice please

I had enough meetings this morning that I finally finished my #ReynaKAL! And I've really enjoyed watching everyone else's progress on it, thanks for sharing! I'm not thrilled about the yarn I used, but the shawl was immediately snatched up and worn by my 11yo, so it's a success.

I'm going to a conference next week, so I need a new #knitting project that will keep me focused: not too complicated to keep me from listening to talks, but complicated enough to be interesting. Suggestions?

#FiberArtCamp WIP Wednesday, part 2

I have a few #knitting WIPs right now.

One is an 11-year old sweater, stalled in the waist-to-bust transition section because the pattern writing is unclear. I should write the designer and get some help.

Another is more recent: a pi shawl I'm designing which has hit a snag in the Section D lace patterning. The nupped sections on the third row keep unraveling themselves, so I set it aside for a cooling period.

I also have the current #ReynaKAL.

The #knitting project I really want to work on has a problem that I've not been able to fix yet. Rather than work it out this week, when I really needed calming knitting, I started another Reyna. This one's a stashbuster because it uses up some yarn I set aside for another purpose many years ago, before I understood that what I planned to do with the yarn was a Bad Idea.

So really, I'm redeeming the yarn by starting this belated #ReynaKAL.

A little status update:
My #reynakal #knitting project #shawl is almost ready. I actually ran out of yarn and had to back up and try to finish earlier. So it's at the frustrating phase where I need to undo two rows before I can finish it.

Travel #junkJournal is in progress. Trying to decide how many pages I will need per day and how exactly to bind it, using maybe a temp binding that lets me take pages in and out or move them around.

I finished most pages in an unrelated project from winter.
