Candy Corn

I used up all of my purple yarn making a few of Casapinka's emPower People bandana cowls, which was super fun and an excellent mindless project that I could manage during Zoom meetings when I wasn't expected to be an active participant.  I'll admit to working a few rows in some more serious meetings, too.  How does anyone get through so many meetings without a mindless knitting project to help them through so much screen time?  

I'm not complaining about Zoom meetings--I actually like them.  I also like teaching class using Zoom.  Most people don't feel this way, and I am considering what that means about my general attitude toward my work... I guess it's good that I haven't started knitting while I'm teaching! 

But the real problem is that I need a new mindless project to get me through more meetings.  In the process of dyeing yarn for another project, I decided to use the left-over dye on a generous (~130 g) skein of sock yarn.  I'm calling this colorway "candy corn".

But, what mindless pattern to use? 

 

Hitchhiker!!

What week is it?

Brownie here.  Hey, if Casapinka lets her cat write shawl patterns, Neuromomma can let me write a blog post!

This mystery shawl gig is working out rather well for me. Neuromomma sits still for longer periods of time, stays out on the patio until its really dark so I can see lots of shrews, and now it's big enough for me to sleep on.  Thanks Sharon!  By the way, I think that you are really cute, and I wish I could see your floofy tail in person.
