"Never again.". A four day and 200 kilometre long walk has just finished in my home town. According to a lady on the bus, a local newspaper had polled that 70% of those who crossed the finish line of this monster marathon swore to never again put themselves through this... yet more than half will probably return again next year, and the next, and the next. What does that have to do with knitting? Well, I just finished the longest and largest shawl I've ever made!

When I just finished this hap, I could have sworn that I wouldn't start another huge hap, well not never, but not soon either. So, with pride I'm ready to announce my next WIP;
Never again? Yes, again! Just like all those marchers, I can't help myself! I'm in love with Kate Davies' Book of Haps. I'm ready to cast on with yarn from a new to me indie-dyer and and I can't wait to try it out and see how it knits up! The pattern I've picked is Veera Välimäki's Theme and Variation, and I'll be casting on the largest size... obviously.
Happy summer knitting,
I'll check back with all of you soon!

Cannot wait to see the blocked results of the hap, but this sneak preview sure looks promising. And that yarn you picked for you next project, swoon!! <3 <3
There's something so addictive about big cozy shawls-the pictures of this one look wonderful so far, I can't wait to see the whole thing!
Those are lovely colors that you chose! I just bought that book when I was in Scotland, can't wait to knit a few!
Hi Kat and Tahnee,
Thanks for your comments! I'll try to do a finished object post asap. I just casted on the new hap!

Hey Sierra!
Thank you! I hope you had a pleasant trip in Scotland, seems the most appropriate place to pick up the Book of Haps ;)
