WIP

My current WIP is going quite well!  Garter stitch is so relaxing...  I've undone a few rows, a few times, because I misplaced the yos or knitted a RS on the WS...  but all in all, it's very pleasant!

I've been reading helpful notes on Ravelry for modifications because I only have 100g of yarn.  I'm monitoring the progression very closely and comparing the number of stitches knitted versus the yardage used.  So far, it looks like decreasing the needle size by 0.50 mm is all that I needed to do!  It will be smaller and I think it will make it just the right size to be worn more like a scarf than like a shawl!

Ha, ha, I've been procrastinating a lot today ;-)  Oh well, sometimes that's what you need to do during your vacations!  Right?  It's just that I always think that I can do so many things ;-)

Have a great week!

    No wonder it is very relaxing, the yarn is a very soothing color. I think that you should be very successful even with less yarn than called for. I always end up using less yarn than the pattern calls for. Well, unless the yarn is discontinued, then I run out.

    I love having a relaxing project on the needles. I'm glad that one is going so well for you.
    And there is nothing wrong with resting during a vacation!

    A relaxing project is a good one! Some say is not about the product but about the process. In your case, and being so talented, I'm sure you will end up with a gorgeous shawl. A win-win. Have a wonderful week.
