\"60d2b8be8349ac34180e9fe98e6c40c4\"I haven’t blogged about knitting for a while…well, I haven’t really had much time to blog about anything over the summer season…but I have had my arm twisted<\/del>\u00a0been persuaded to participate in Susanna IC’s latest MKAL (Mystery Knit Along) and have been tempted to have a go at NaKniSweMo<\/a> (National Knit a Sweater Month), which runs parallel to NaNoWriMo<\/a>*\u00a0(National Novel Writing Month) during November.<\/p>\n

*(You may recall that I have participated\u00a0that for two years – you can read about my\u00a0efforts here<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have, in fact, been knitting in the meantime, I just haven’t been writing about it. You can see some of my finished projects on my Ravelry page.<\/a>\u00a0You\u00a0will note that, this year, I’ve been mostly making shawls and the MKAL is no exception. Well, it is sort of an exception insofar as I don’t normally go in for the “M” part of KALs. Generally, I do prefer to see what I might expect to end up with before I embark on countless hours of time and effort. The last MKAL I undertook, I waited until about 3 weeks in, partly because I had another project to finish, but also so that I could see the spoiler pics of the pattern However, I am familiar with Susanna IC’s designs<\/a>\u00a0and I do love almost all her patterns, so I think this one’s a fairly safe bet.<\/p>\n

Having thus plunged, I couldn’t find a thing to wear in my closet<\/del>\u00a0any suitably autumnal yarn in my stash, so I was forced, forced I tell you, to order some tout de suite<\/em>. It\u00a0arrived today:<\/p>\n

…splendidly\u00a0Autumnal,\u00a0is it not? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

I have created a project page<\/a>\u00a0on Ravelry and will be posting updates here\u00a0as well, but I won’t be casting on until after I have finished writing this post. Move along folks, nothing to see here. I’ll leave you with\u00a0this to pass the time while you’re waiting…<\/p>\n\n
