Currently in Sekret Knitting, I've got one final mitt to knit up, which I started Sunday night. This is a pretty quick knit, so I'll work on it as my in between times project this week and get it done. I've got a handful of other projects to get cast on, but I'm still working on charting and instructions and the details.
Otherwise, in personal knitting, I'm starting a new project: Hecate Shawl. This is a wonderful pattern Kirsten Kapur of Through the Loops designed for my Shakespeare in Lace Club a while back, and it's been in my queue ever since. I decided to riff on the original black/red colorway and go with a multicolored gray and a solid bright orangey-red for my version. (That's Ceridwen Sock in Tinder (gray) and Little Miss Firecracker (red).)
While the pattern looks very lacey and complex, in fact, it's a fairly straightforward knit, and I'm hoping I get some quality knit-time in during some lulls in family and holiday busy-ness. I won't likely get this finished in 2014, which actually is perfect, since I want to use it as my Q1 KAL/Stashdown Challenge project for 2015. (I'm hosting a Wooly Wonka Fibers stashdown/KAL challenge in my group. If you are looking for some fun KAL time, please take a hop over there, and see if you'd like to join. Minimal requirements, and we'll have different challenges for the entire year, a new bunch each quarter!). This project with that bright red definitely will qualify in the "red/orange" category, plus the shawl category, and will likely be a WIP that I carry over into 2015 for that piece of the challenge as well!
And to all my readers - have a VERY Happy Holiday season to close out 2014, with best wishes for a great upcoming 2015!
