I spent the weekend contemplating how best to photograph my Lunar Phases shawl. I am not sure I got it right…it is HUGE and not at all easy to photograph! And, I did not block it aggressively at all. I just gently blocked each of the phases to their original dimensions and then gently stretched out clue four that joined the clues together. For all its size, it is not at all heavy but rather it is incredibly light – it is easily a wrap for cool summer nights!

This morning the 2018 Women’s Prize shortlist was announced and I am trying to comprehend how The Idiot and Sing, Unburied, Sing can even be on the same list, much less a shortlist!
Knitting ennui continues, but I think I might be turning the corner. I pulled out some insanely deep stash late last week and did some swatching with a modicum of success! I started a new sweater on Friday and I also have made some progress on knitting mates for single socks! I also found some yarn that will work beautifully for a new Vodka Lemonade (this one, sadly, no longer fits.)
And, because Laundry is Life… the mountain awaits me! I hope your Monday is painless and over quickly!
You got it right! I’m not sure I completely get Lunar Phases as a whole, but I love the colors you chose, unique construction, and it looks wonderful in every single view! I’m also loving that lovely sun shining on deep stash; it looks like your week is off to a great start!
This Monday is a million times better than last, so that part is easy!! Lunar Phases is really cool… I wonder when I’ll get back to it. :/
Your shawl looks like it was a really fun knit, even if it is difficult to photograph!
The new sweater you’ve cast on looks so wearable. I hadn’t seen it before, so thanks for bringing it to my attention!
The sun is shining and people are smiling! Your Lunar shawl is a work of art! Congratulations!
Lovely!
That’s an amazing shawl and I think you got the pictures just right! Happy Monday!
Wow–what a fantastic, gorgeous shawl! Wow!!!!
I honestly don’ t know how designers can break the pattern up to clues and make it all fit like a puzzle. GREAT yarn colors for Lunar phases. Love it. SO beautiful WEAR IT WELL
I have a Vodka Lemonade languishing somewhere. I really should finish it! I’m glad to hear that it is a well-written pattern.
There is a lot going on in that shawl, and your colors are beautiful and perfectly suited to the pattern. It’s large size will insure its warmth and coziness!
That is one interesting shawl! So much going on! I’ll bet you’ll just keep on discovering new ways to wear it.
XO
Congrats on Lunar Phase! It’s lovely and I’m thinking it’s going to be quite useful for summertime when it’s a tad “too cold”…dare we be even a tad blasphemous, considering the cold spring we’ve had…
Love the color of your new piece…looking forward to seeing your “mismated” socks…should be fun!
All those Lunar Phases photos have me even more curious to see the “whole big picture” 🙂 I do think your color choices are spot on and perfect for a spring/summer outfit.
Lucinda is a fun knit (sadly, I washed and lightly felted mine) … a little stockinette is a sure cure for knitting ennui!
what a shawl that can look different in many ways, I love it! I tend to wear my shawls like scarves. Beautiful!
