Dark Car Knitting

Over Thanksgiving I decided that I would take a few days to let my slipper orders pile up and just relax. The funny thing is, relaxing to me usually involves some sort of knitting. Although I can't honestly say that I didn't work on slippers all weekend, I did find some time to knit for me.

My requirements for my Thanksgiving knitting were simple: the project must involve no counting. I wanted something I could work while we were driving to see relatives and entertaining guests. I stumbled upon the Sunday Market Shawl by Vanessa Carter of Knit Fish and knew we had a winner.



I have never done anything with dropped stitches before, so I thought that this sounded like a perfect project- no counting and a new skill, what fun! I grabbed some Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool and started knitting away! The whole project is basically knit in stockinette stitch, which means I could do as much or as little as I wanted in a sitting. I used less than two skeins of yarn and was more than happy with the result. After all, you can't beat mindless dark car knitting!
