I have returned! After a week in a very muddy field (which was awesome, despite the mud) I have just about re-adjusted to reality and am almost back in a crafting frame of mind.
I'm very glad Blogger decided to post my scheduled post last week, and very grateful to you all for your comments and input on my pattern swapping dilemma. I read most of your comments on Monday when I finally checked my emails at the end of the event, and it really made me smile to see so many of you getting involved.
It seems that the overwhelming opinion of you all is that Eleonora is the pattern of choice for adding to my list in place of the Sapphire Shrug, so I have made the decision and updated my list here.
As I've been away from home for a while, I haven't actually done any knitting or crochet since my last WIP Wednesday update! So no photos of progress here I'm afraid. Plans for the week ahead include winding my second skein of Knit Picks Shimmer for the Jane Austen shawl, as I've suddenly realised we're in September already and the wedding I want to wear it too is less than a month away!
Check back in on Wednesday and I might have some actual progress to share.
Welcome back to reality! Sounds like you better get cracking on that shawl - will look for progress on Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteOohh Tink .. that Jane Austin shawl looks beautiful. I hope you get it finished in time for the wedding. It should look awesome. What colour will yours be?
ReplyDeleteSo pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat shawl is gorgeous and the colour is lovely, I'm sure if you are anything like me you'll get it done in time, although if you are actually anything like me you may be sewing the ends in on the morning of the wedding!
ReplyDeleteSeptember did creep up all of a sudden, didn't it? I better get organized with a Christmas countdown on my blog!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, looking forward to seeing both the Eleanora and Jane Austen in your upcoming WIPs posts. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteoooh pretties! So glad you decided on the Eleonora.
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful, I'm glad you decided on the Eleonora. I also love your Jane Austen the color is great.
ReplyDeleteYay! The pattern I voted for won and made it onto your list. If I was younger and smaller, I would knit myself an Eleonora. Happy wishes for your shawl project--I hope your pattern gives you less fits than mine did last week.

Welcome home. Knitting in the mud would be difficult. Hope you had a great week.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Back and happy blogging!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good week away (despite the mud) :)
ReplyDeleteTime flies, doesn't it?! I'm looking forward to seeing how you end up liking the Eleonora pattern when you get to that.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you decided on Eleanore:)
ReplyDeleteSoooo can't wait to see the Jane Austen Shawl..I'm am such a huge huge (did I mention huge ) fan of Jane Austen. This would be on my list instantly only I can't crochet all that well. So for now I shall look on at yours and drool :D
