Project Monogamy


Surprisingly for me, I have only been working on one project this week. It's pretty close to being finished now that I'm on the last wedge. I'm really enjoying this knit, watching the yarn change through its colours is fun, and I'm a big fan of garter stitch when there is enough of a pattern to keep the interest *smiles*


Of course, project monogamy leaves little to write about on a Wednesday *laughs*

As for the book - I'm currently sticking with my young adult dystopia theme, with The Maze Runner. I enjoyed the story but I have to say the writing is not the best. Definitely not up to the high standards of some of the books in this genre that I have read. Having said that, I do plan to read the rest of the trilogy, so it can't be too bad!

Pop over to Tami's and Ginny's for more lovely knitting and reading content, and have a lovely day *smiles*

  1. I tend to be pretty monogamous with my knitting too, it feels like I get things knitted up faster that way. Having said that I've just posted about casting on a third project last night so maybe I should go back to following your example!

    Loving the colour changes in the yarn, perfect for the pattern

  2. There's really something mesmerising about garter stitch so long as stripes keep emerging isn't there - I know I would feel exactly the same as you! Beautiful shape too :-)

  3. I read "The Maze Runner" earlier this year and loved it, but I agree, the writing is not the best.

    Agree with you on the Wingspan. I'm working on it myself, and it's wonderfully relaxing. The only time I have to count anything is when I cast on for the next wedge - I can live with that :)

  4. I have to say that I haven't been reading much lately. There is a book on my night stand though. When the librarian in our school got rid of old and worn out books, I discovoured a copy of a following part of Abby Lynn. It's a story for teenagers but who cares. I loved the first part. :-)

  5. Wingspan is such a lovely pattern, one of these days I'm going to have to give it a try. Especially because yours turned out so pretty!

  6. wingspan really is a lovely pattern! one of my current projects (no monogamy for me!) is a massive, dragon-sized wingspan in yummy worsted weight yarn - the comfort food of knitting ;)

    also, i love the first pic in your post, very... atmospheric, for lack of a better word. brilliant!

  7. It looks lovely!
    I think you must have a lot of willpower to only have one project on the needles. Sometimes I wish I could find the strength for that!

  8. Love it! Those colors are some of my favs! I really need to try the wing span shawl, I like the pattern and have yet to see one that I didn't like.

  11. Just catching up here, after somehow missing that you were back. Your Wingspan is gorgeous, I love the colour shifts, and now (having commented on my process being just like yours!) I'm off to see what yarn I have that I might knit one in.

  17. I'm not very good at knitting monogamy, try as I may. Wingspan is looking really great. I love the pops of blue throughout.
