Is anyone still out there?

I know, shame on me for not posting in over a month! One of the reasons is that I'm still finding it a bit difficult to adjust to the new work rhythm and when I get home from work my brain has generally turned to mush from answering emails from customers all day.

Knitting is still happening albeit slowly. I'm still working on the commission shawl. The rows are long and I started beading the last section, which doesn't help with the speed.



This thing is going to be huge once blocked. I think I'll need to buy a second set of foam tiles!



I just realised that I never showed you the little reversible toy that I knitted for Easter. It's a pattern by Susan B. Anderson and was a lot of fun to knit.



I made some modifications to the patternn, mainly to avoid seaming. So I knit the body in one piece and picked up stitches for the feet of the duck and ears of the bunny. The only things that I seamed were the heads. I'd really like to find a good video demonstrating whipstitching elements of a knitted toy as I'm completely clueless when it comes to that.

Finally, I finished my FoPASS square for this month but I can't show it to you all. It's a surprise. Plus, it's not blocked. I'm waiting for the kitchen floor to finish drying so that I can get it to soak.
