No, I don’t think so either although I am sure I could do a dramatic shoulder baring pullover with strategic short rows. Anyway, it’s hard to post interesting updates that revolve around sleeves, so let’s just cut the pretending. I’ve finished one and am about a third through the second. I’ve pretty much figured out what I am going to do with the yoke as I convert it to a pullover, so I’m eager to get to that point. Here’s where I am.
My next project is already on the needles. I won’t say anything about it right now but if someone named Maria is reading, you can pretty much guess what I’m up to. (Besides no good.)
Several readers were wondering what I was flaunting wearing in my Yarn Harlot photo. It’s the Cap Shawl from Victorian Lace Today, which I knit out of KidSilk Haze. The color is called Blush.
For those who might have missed it the first time around, here’s a slightly better look at it:

Havin’ fun, aren’t ya???

From Susan — I am loving the Tangled Yoke — dare I copy ma soeur? I am anticipating a couple of things but no bug has bitten that I can start right at this moment. I will live vicariously through Surly for the time being.

Hmm,I would love to knit the tangled yoke as a knit-in-the-round pullover, but I don’t know if I’ve got the brain power during my evening knitting times to figure it out. We’ll see.

How are you liking the felted tweed yarn? (The color is lovely.)

I’m just new to your site.Beautiful shawl.Looked back at the tutorials on starting it.Thanks for mentioning that it is a good beginning project, since I’ve been eyeing the book for 6 months trying to determine which pattern I have half a chance of actually understanding.Thanks for the tips.

Such a beautiful shawl. My friend Everwhelming Liz made one for her wedding veil. You can see it here if you like: http://everwhelming.blogspot.com/search/label/cap%20shawl

In person the Cap Shawl is even prettier. You had everyone admiring it at the Harlot’s signing.
As always, your work is an inspiration! It was wonderful catching up with you; it has been WAY too long. I’m assuming you can see my email. Could you let me know how to reach you?

Wearing, flaunting or whatever; the shawl was decidedly delicious and looked great on you! I, for one, would love to see you in a one-sleeve shoulder-baring wonder of a Tangled Yoke. I’m sure you could carry it off with aplomb!

What a spectacular shawl!! I just saw someone knitting on the same shawl at a local yarn shop. Yours is absolutely spectacular!!!

I really must know what color of Felted Tweed you are using? The color is spectacular! I’m kind of waiting to see what modifications you made to Tangled Yoke as a pullover, as I would like to see the finished result, although mine will probably be a cardigan.
