As a designer I don’t often knit other designers work. I have so many projects on the go and trying to write them at the same time that I knit them is time consuming and I have to have my wits about me. But every now and then I want to knit something that I don’t have to think about so I joined a KAL sponsored by one of my favorite designers, Joji Locatelli designs..

I am working on one of her shawl patterns: Jujuy

I went deep into stash to find yarns that will work.
These are skeins of sock yarn that are self striping. It really changes the look of the pattern by adding these stripes, but I’m going with it.

My labor day weekend was filled with lots of great vistas and time for knitting!

Luckily my traveling buddies did the driving and I got to keep on knitting!

When I arrived home on Monday – I kept the holiday going and knit some more. . . all the way to where I added the second color.

today – It’s back to work knitting my own designs and working on pattern writing.

Happy official fall everyone!
