Well, it is official … I’m hooked on Stephen West’s designs. I just can’t seem to get enough of them! Enter Barndom …
I started on a handspun version of this shawl (because if there is anything more fun than knitting one of Stephen’s designs, it is knitting it in handspun!) but I just couldn’t get the yarns I had chosen to play nicely together. After trying multiple times to get a stashed handspun yarn to go with the handspun I had chosen for my main color, I said “To Heck With It!!!” and grabbed some really lovely Belfast Mini Mills Specialty sock and cast on with that instead. I’m super happy with how it is progressing so far and it is knitting up really quickly. I started knitting this yesterday 
So what crafting do you have on the go now? Are you in Holiday Crafting Crisis mode or are you kicking back and having some fun? Me? I’m having FUN!
Those colors look so good together, and I clicked on Barndom and saw the finished shawl, it will be so lovely. That’s something I would like to knit. I like your colors together, they complement each other nicely.
Thanks Martha. I like the colors together too and since I’m planning on knitting the large shawl, I need to pick another color. Just have to decide which one now … he he he.
Love your colors! And the pattern.
I am in semi-crises mode, & having fun. Thanks for all the inspiration, & Merry Christmas
If you’re having fun that all that counts right! Happy Holidays to you too!
Oh I love this pattern and your colors are awesome!
Thanks Tina. It is both colorwork AND cabling. How much more fun can it get! he he he
Ahhh, lovely pattern, and great colors!
Thanks! This is a very enjoyable knit.
