And so it begins (finally)! . I've cast on the right back shoulder...then there will be the left back to do... . Can. Not. Wait. To see it take shape! .

Will I, won't I...run out of yarn that is...what do you think? 🦋 Now that I've made it this far I can start on the next section for this evening's #ProjectTime! I'm wondering though if I'll run out of yarn before I get to the end the skein... 🦋 As many stitches as this is...and as much of a bear as it was to cast on and keep count at first...I still think it's turning out rather lovely and I can't wait to see the lace worked up in this color! 🦋 Do you ever play yarn chicken? 🦋 Pattern: Mitali by @deeokeefedesigns Yarn: Cascade 220 Heather's, colorway: Crushed Grapes Needles: Lykke Driftwood Interchangeables 🦋 #AradiasHand #AradiaGoseling #AradiaNaware #SticksnString #knitting4today #knitstagram #shawlknitting #giftmas https://www.instagram.com/p/B-vN-qSJgcO/?igshid=1t6v0o7wuhpgm

Deadlines: friend or foe? 🦋 Another day, another couple of rows. It's slow going but still steady progress. This is something I trust will be cherished by the recipient for years to come. 🦋 Like most gifts it'll be received when it's received as I never aim to give things on a specific time table. I don't love deadlines & the pressure tends to sap all my energy. 🦋 How are you with deadlines? 🦋 #AradiasHand #AradiaGoseling #AradiaNaware #SticksnString #knitting4today #knitstagram #shawlknitting #Cascade220 https://www.instagram.com/p/B-spf-KpL2o/?igshid=rn4o8rbon9x3

I joined a sock group in FB...which might have been a mistake (or maybe not) because I keep seeing so many awesome socks. 🦋 It also reminds me of the sock yarn I have waiting to be turned into socks. And the pair of socks that I have had on my needles for over a year (shhh...I was working on a sweater & other stuff). 🦋 But it's definitely time to get going so I can see if my latest edits worked out and move onto the next set of tweaks. 🦋 Do you have any abandoned projects calling out to you? 🖤 #AradiasHand #AradiaGoseling #AradiaNaware #ProjectTime #SticksnString #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #knittingtwoatatime #toeupsockstwoatatime #magicloopknitting #knitting4today #knitting #tricot #stricken #strikken https://www.instagram.com/p/B-iXXMYHCDj/?igshid=1wkzvtapn4rvs

Just two more rows and I'll have completed this pattern repeat. These last two rows are going to take me to task though as I have to rewrite parts of the stitch pattern so the math is right and the flowers are properly centered. 🦋 Things I didn't consider when deciding that this must be a cardigan and that Ii wanted it tailored...le sigh. But received quite a rude awakening on upon starting without having given this due consideration. 🦋 Always doing things the hard way... 🙄🤔😒 🦋 When diving into creative projects do you map things out ahead of time...or as you go? 🦋 #AradiasHand #AradiaGoseling #AradiaNaware #SticksnString #creativeeveryday #knitting4today #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #knitting #tricot #strikken #stricken #designersofinstagram #knitweardesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/B-QT3ArJ0z5/?igshid=zsyv9y216kqs

Hawk over there side eye, judging me...wanting to know why I'm just looking at my knitting instead of actually knitting... 🦋 For real though...I'm down to the last 2 rows of the pattern repeat which means it's almost picture time again. It will also put the kibosh on working on this more after that is done...because daylight. 🦋 Real talk though...my focus is fuzzy in the evening. After the wee bit is off my brain seems to slip into disassociation more easily too. I'm thankful for it happening more then than during the day...but it'd be great if it never happened at all...ah well brains are funny. 🦋 Does your focus seep away in the e'en times too? 🦋 #AradiasHand #AradiaGoseling #AradiaNaware #SticksnString #designersofinstagram #knitweardesigner #knitting4today #creativeeveryday #knitting #tricot #strikken #stricken #mentalhealth #disassociation https://www.instagram.com/p/B-N4-a1HgKb/?igshid=1k2m7rue5pgxo

What's your favorite way to make notations on your creative works? 🦋 I finally tinked back to where I made my mistake the other day so now I'm ready to try the decorative stitch row again. Hopefully with less incidence of mistakes this time. 🦋 I also finally opted to put everything in one of my yarn bowls, especially since I was out and about with it yesterday...Not that I got to work on it - my mistake since my notes are in my computer. 🦋 Do you take notes digitally or on paper? 🦋 #AradiasHand #AradiaGoseling #AradiaNaware #SticksnString #knitting4today #designersofinstagram #knitweardesigner #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #knitting #tricot #stricken #strikken https://www.instagram.com/p/B9o4LIRJ1dq/?igshid=1od75jub0hk8z

Don't ya hate it when things seem to take forever?! 🦋 I got a bit of work done on this earlier today in my outing. Given the amount of stitches I had to go through it was sadly only two rows. 🦋 The bright side is that I'm two rows closer to the next phase than I was when when I started. It also means it's almost "official progress shot time"! 🦋 Does slow progress frustrate you? 🦋 Pattern: Mitali by @deeokeefedesigns Yarn: Cascade 220 Heathers, colorway: Crushed Grapes by @cascadeyarns Needles: Lykke Driftwood Interchangeables 🦋 #AradiasHand #AradiaGoseling #ProjectTime #SticksnString #Rvaknitters #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #tricot #stricken #strikken #knitting #Rva #deeokeefedesigns #Cascade220 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9nHh_mp_7K/?igshid=u4c4qpvwf7xp
