New Year; some FO's; a bit of insanity

My needles have been smokin' the past few weeks.  I will showcase my FO's, then venture into my new insane project.

Red Robin Shawl



Advent Shawl:  Lace wintersweet


Capelet


The capelet needs to be blocked, but I love it!!!!  SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  soft.

Okay, now for my insane undertaking.  Even though I was warned (thanks GerryArt), I decided to do a test knit for a deluxe version of the lace wintersweet!  I used worsted wt. yarn (1st mistake) and after a few sections completed, calculated the shawl would be 90 inches long!!!  I talked with the designer, and she okay'd me to omit a few sections.  I'm over halfway finished!!  I have until the 31st to get it done, but with 6 sections removed, I should be able to do it!  Pictures will follow at a later time;   I have to get ready to go walk my 4 miles!

    You are a knitting machine!!! Everything looks amazing. Looking forward to seeing your insane project. Sounds BIG. Be careful walking so many miles at one time. Don't want you to blow out a knee (ask me how I know)

      Insane project: I'll have it done by next cluckfest!
      We walk at the mall, so flat surface, but I will be careful!

    Your work is scrumptious !

    This is the 1900 yd project you spoke of?
    Worsted weight would be great for some of this Polar Vortex weather we've been experiencing
    Good luck on your endeavor, gal.

    What a beautiful morning for a walk, enjoy all of Mother Nature

    Hugs

      This isn't the Yggdarsil afghan. I'm waiting for the designer to send written instructions (YAY!!!) The insanity project is the wintersweet deluxe I am test knitting.

      Thanks for your comment. I like the Wintersweet, also! I'll probably never make that pattern again, but one never knows...
