Due to a Ravelry "competition," I have until July 31st to get it done. According to my math, I need to do 12 rows a day to make that goal. That should be pretty manageable, but for the competition, I have a shawl to make at the same time, as well as at least three other projects.
Swatches are required for the competition, so I'm got my mega row swatch (no I'm not going to share what the project is, we'll see if anyone- or everyone- figures it out before I'm done). The original pattern is over 66 stitches, but it was originally for a much larger man. I'm not 6'3" so I'm not going to wear a scarf that is a foot wide. Mine is going to be about 5 inches wide knit over 25 stitches.
I also have the swatch for the shawl. I'm going to be using some of my hand spun for the shawl. A while ago I spun about 8 ounces of a red mohair and gold merino yarn. Now I finally have the right project for it!
Here I have all the colors and yarns that I'm going to be using for these projects. It should work out quite nicely, and I'm excited to get started.
Since both are part of a competition, I have to submit a proposal and get it approved before I can start knitting. I'll also be dealing with different time zones, so even though the competition opens tomorrow, I probably won't be able to start these projects. But maybe I can get most of the way through one of the other projects I need to complete.
Now I just have to wait...
