Pinions KAL Update

It's been fun to use up some yarn that I dyed over 10 years ago.  I just finished Pinion 6.

A late knitted Christmas gift idea has emerged and will keep me occupied, probably until people are opening presents and wondering where I am on Saturday.  Pinion 7 will have to wait a few days!

Another KAL

December is not the ideal time to start a 20-section fingering-weight knit along shawl ("Pinions"; thank you Sharon from Security and Casapinka). I was convinced to do it when I learned it was going to be folded into a poncho shape. I have accumulated a massive quantity of fingering-weight yarn and am short on ideas for what to do with the small quantities of so many different colors.  

I wish I could say this was all of it...

But once I organized the pile into general color groups, I was able to envision how some of the yarn could get put together.  

Brownie is not impressed, but is rather annoyed that so much of his bed space is occupied.  I won't tell him that I'm knitting a project that was designed by another cat.

I opted for the greens.  If I have enough fun with those, I might make two shawls.  Or, I could wait a short time until Casapinka generates yet another awesome use of colorful fingering-weight yarn.
