Jessimuhka Knits

I made some good progress on the Tina Shawl this weekend. After spending Sunday afternoon picking up stitches around the sides, I got 13 rounds into the 58 rounds that make up charts 2 and 3.

Lump of crap view. It's not going to be anywhere close to spread out until I get about halfway through the edging.

Detail view 1. This shows the start of the double yarn over diagonals. So far this is a fun knit.

Detail 2. This one shows the little "strawberry" at the space between the diagonals. The strawberry is a traditional Shetland lace motif. Once I get through the 58 rounds, I'll have approximately eleventy billion rows of edging to do (okay, I checked, 1,700. I think eleventy billion is still accurate).

Saturday Jen hosted a frogging party at her house. Cora, Krys, Kristin, and Marisa all were there with either knitting or frogging.

Jen, ripping out a double stranded chenille shrug. I would have just thrown that away.

Krys, working on her here and there cabled scarf with the Lousia Harding wool/silk yarn we both got on another group outing. (I already finished my scarf with that yarn. =P)

Marisa and Kristin ripping out Kristin's Simply Marilyn. Kristin has a whole lot of Cashmerino Super Chunky on her hands now.

And now, for a completely random photo.

This nose was glued to the inside of a stall door in the women's restroom in Peterson Hall at UCSD. Now the use of a camera in a bathroom is generally a no-no, but this was too weird not to photograph. We'll pretend no one could have possibly heard the shutter click. (I did wait until there was water running.)

If you have any interest in more of my adventures with my new camera, here are about 60 pictures I took for a class project in North Park.
