In a move that surprises no one, I ripped back the shawl-in-progress and started again.
I haven’t had much knitting time this week, so the re-started shawl is still in its nascent stages, but it’s growing fast. So fast, in fact, that I can’t quite spread the whole thing out on the needles anymore.
From what I can see, though, this version is looking significantly more crescent-shaped, and I am happy. Basically, I just took the increases that I had worked at fixed intervals and made the placement random. Having one less thing to count and keep track of is definitely not a problem in my book!
So, presuming that some knitting time magically appears, we should be on our way to done again soon. I guess that means I should start planning my next project, before it sneaks up and catches me off guard…
These are really pretty colors, Erica. I seem to have gravitated towards shawl for summer knitting so I don’t have a large hot wooly sweater on my lap.
Nice. It feels satisfying just reading about it.
I’m glad to hear the fix is working! Hopefully you’re found your knitting time as well.
