Peacock progress
Posted on September 14th, 2006 at 7:00 amif one insists on calling it progress. Peacock Feathers Shawl has been a WIP for awhile, and I often am asked how far through it I am. I usually say something like “I don’t know,” as it is worked from the back of the neck down and it is somewhat hard to tell.
Recently though, I’ve been saying more like “I dunno, but it seems like I’m pretty far into it.” I’ve had to rumple it up to fit it onto my lap and knit it.
Yesterday I finally sat down and checked the progress more deliberately, borrowing a technique from Grumperina.

It seems I have a way to go, which is alright because I enjoy working on her but not alright because I have a bunch of other things I want to be doing. Like rereading the SOUE books, or many other things that I’ve been meaning to spend time on. I suppose the only thing there is to do is to employ my typical method of just doing what I feel like the most.

Yay for the peacock! I think you are making great progress…and boy have you finished a lot of things lately! Your fortunate traveler looks beautiful as well. The wording just looks PERFECT!
