I’m no closer to deciding what to knit for this year’s Tour de France knitalong than I was last year. But I promised to share some of the things I was thinking about, so, I thought I’d give you some of the 1-2 skein projects I’m looking at tonight and then share the 3+ skein projects later on. The links all go to Ravelry, should that be a helpful piece of information to you.<\/p>\n

There are more here than I expected. And normally I would have Rudi help me filter them down and then bring them to you to help me decide. But he’s in bed and you’re always here (in a sense), so there we go.<\/p>\n

First up is the XO Shawl<\/a>. It’s knit with one skein of sock yarn and one of a silk mohair (both of which I should be able to wrangle out of my stash).<\/p>\n

The Seladonia Shawl<\/a> would give me the push to finally learn brioche<\/p>\n

Either Winterberry<\/a>, Crunch Time<\/a>, or Orkidae Shawl<\/a> would use two skeins of the same color. That gives me at least one option, but possibly just that.<\/p>\n

Kingston Lacy<\/a> could be knit in either fingering or lace, which gives me several options.<\/p>\n

If I knit the Little Rainbow Shawl<\/a>, I’d probably combine a solid with a gradient, rather than using mini skeins, which I don’t own.<\/p>\n

Full Charged<\/a> comes from the designer I knit my purple and pink 4-Ever in Blue Jeans shawl from two years ago.<\/p>\n

Stonechurch<\/a> is another mosaic design (colorwork done by slipping stitches, rather than knitting with two colors on the same row), which I seem to be attracted to a lot this past year.<\/p>\n

Flowers in the Air<\/a> is knit with a mohair blend and uses beads. The beaded socks I started knitting earlier this spring quickly went sideways, but I don’t really think that was the beads’ fault. Wispy Shawl<\/a> doesn’t have any beads to complicate things.<\/p>\n

Escanda<\/a> uses just a single skein of sock yarn.<\/p>\n

Hennes<\/a> combines a solid and a variagated or self-striping skein.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Do any of these catch your eye? Or, even better, have you made any of them yourself?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
