First, I cast on the Diatom Shawl from the kit I bought from Knitpicks in the US in 2013.
The FO is going to be very large and, as it works outwards, there are five colour changes so it becomes something of a rainbow. It's theoretically intended to be a baby blanket for my very first niece/nephew, but it may not really be suitable for that. We'll see. I'm quite enjoying knitting a complex lace pattern again, though I did make some mistakes just while knitting it in front of the TV, so I took something else to cast on at knitting group yesterday.
It's the Volt sweater I bought the pattern for at Wonderwool in 2018, along with the delectable blue Triskelion, and the yellows I picked up this year. I'm thrilled with the way the colours are coming out and the fabric is just luscious so far. The bright yellow is noticeably thinner than the others, in spite of being the same weight as the others; I don't think it will matter too much in the end, though. My main worry is that the blue will bleed and the flash will turn sickly green. But, I won't dwell on that too much.
So lovely! I can't put it down. The Diatom might take a bit longer than I thought...
