The start of peaceful knitting began yesterday at Casa del KatKnits – and it feels so, well, peaceful and meditative! While knitting yesterday I was thinking of other knitters who are joining me in this journey – there are 2,192 projects currently listed on Ravelry (however as of 11/29 there were over 14k participating!!) but I am especially thinking about those I know who are knitting along with me.
I hope you all managed to get 318 stitches cast on and began knitting yesterday. I completed the cast on and the first 4 rounds yesterday. I will continue today with the second repeat of the pattern. I am happy to say that the pattern is easy to memorize.
I am looking forward to 20 more days of knitting and meditating on peace for this world.
I am fortunate Steve loves me so much, he surprised me yesterday with a pre-holiday package from Miss Babs and Jenny the Potter! A mug for me and some yarn from which I will make a hat for him. Thank you Steve!! And, thank you Miss Babs for the sample of Tarte! This will be the perfect accent for my next pair of Squad Mitts!

I am really enjoying the peace project knitting. I thought I might do a stash dive for my RobRoy hat this weekend too. Sunday is our Christmas concert and then life will settle down a bit around here. And one way or another, that tiny person should be joining us by the start of next week.
I’ll be watching as you peacefully knit your cowls. For me, a joyful sock will be my peace project. Happy Friday!
Ah, Decemberist!! And Slippery Slope!! And Slippers.
I modified the Project Peace Cowl to knit on straights with i-cord edges — much more peaceful that way (for me). 😉
I haven’t yet reached the peaceful stage with my cowl, but after correcting some cast on and cable length errors, I’ll (hopefully) be approaching peace this evening. That is an excellent surprise package! Is Steve available to provide gift advice to other men? 😉
I got my Peace Cowl cast on and already managed a little modification (just because I don’t want to do the i-cord, and I’m not really big on options 1 or 2). I’m looking forward to some more peaceful knitting later today.
I cast on yesterday, too, and I’m enjoying the peaceful knitting process.
Yarn wound into the ball…and planning to cast on this weekend. I am looking forward to the peaceful moments.
that does look very peaceful…. and kudos to Steve for the surprise package!
well now, you are going to have to keep Steve! I am so glad you are less stressed and feeling restive now 🙂
Glad you’re doing the Project Peace KAL. I am SO enjoying it. The pattern is easy to memorize.
I love that Decembrist shawl. Could come in handy!
