Wow. I am now on Row 157 of my Shipwreck! This is the very last pattern row. When I finish it, the next round is doubling every stitch (K, YO repeat to end). Then it's time to bind off. How many stitches am I going to have to bind off, you ask? 1160. Eeep.
I'm glad I have my spiffy new blocking tiles! I'll be putting them to good use soon. I think I may also consider re-blocking the two shawls I knit in Dream in Color Stardust (Aeolian and Multnomah), because they seem to have shrunk up a bit since their original blocking. That will be AFTER blocking my Shipwreck, naturally.
Gosh. It won't be long before I'm faced with the question of, "what next?" Some ideas:
* Start Gail/Nightsongs with the skein of Sea Silk I bought this winter
* Start talking to my mom more in-depth about what she wants in a shawl, so I can start planning what I'm going to make her (though it might be a while before I start actually knitting that)
* Start the Beekeeper's Quilt with some of my leftover sock yarn
I might do #2 and #3 at the same time. The Beekeeper's Quilt will be easy to do just a bit of it and then go do a "real" project (as opposed to an "in-between-projects" project. I suppose another thing I ought to do is take some damn PICTURES of my Shipwreck, to show it off in all its golden-brown glory. :)
By the way, if you're reading my blog but haven't checked out my projects yet (and I doubt many people are actually reading this), I have recently posted pictures of my sweet little Mémère wearing the big worsted Multnomah I made her for Christmas. It was her birthday a couple weeks ago, and while I was too sick to go see her, I asked my parents to take a picture. My dad took three great ones. She's so cute! Go look at the pictures!
