Kishie Shawl Update

In the evenings I enjoy settling into a comfy seat and doing handwork. I’m almost caught up on my mending and have been knitting almost every night lately. Since we are not out and about these days I’m taking advantage of the time to focus and work on and finish things that require a bit more attention than my usual crew sock knitting.

According to my Ravelry notes, I started this Kishie Shawl in November 2018. I worked hard on it for a few months and then slowed down. It later sat off in a corner by itself for more than a year and I picked it up again a few weeks ago. I’m at the point where one pattern row takes about 45 minutes - longer if we are watching a movie. Since I don’t want to put the project down mid row, I have to gauge how much time is left in our show to know whether I have time to start another row. I am really close (only a few really long rows) from starting the chart for the edging at the bottom of the shawl.

I am hoping to finish some long languishing projects this year but also seem to be starting a lot of new projects. We shall see how this plays out.
