We haven't had one of these in a while, have we?
I'm still working along on the re-knit of my Lupine Cardi patttern. I've got five pattern repeats to work for the main portion of the body (before everything gets joined together and the raglan shaping starts). I've finished 3 repeats and it currently looks like:
I'm not setting any real goals for this. It's just my "whenever I have a minute" project right now.
On the Sekret Knitting list, I'm just about finished the June shawl sample for the Heroines Shawl Club. I'm working on the final edging and hoping to have that finished and blocked this week, so it can go for testing. Into the mix, I found out three separate patterns were accepted for publication, all with a sample/pattern deadline of March 13th, so once the yarns for those arrive, I'll be knitting like crazy. (And thank goodness for sample knitters. I'd be sweating it even more without getting by with a little help from my friends!)
And since I'm a tease, I have started work on a new pattern collection. This will be a fairly large group of 24 items, but I'll be dividing them up into three 8-pattern ebooks so I can manage getting them tech edited, sample knit, photographed and ready for debuts a little more mangeably. These will be rolled out over the next 15 to 18 months (it's a whole lotta knitting!!). I did some shopping this weekend for styling fabrics and I'm currently deciding on a couple of different venues to shoot the first third of the collection. Tons of work, but I'm really excited about the theme and the overall mental picture I've got. I do have one piece already finished, and I started work on the first of the women's sweaters last week!
All for now......
I love the unblocked undulations of the pattern. Lovely color choice too! Makes me think ahead to spring :-)

That all sounds very, very exciting! Can't wait to see some of your ideas come to life!

Exciting, but exhausting. Take care of those hands and shoulders!
