KAL vs craftification

Standard

I’m currently working on the Crafts from the Cwtch spring knitalong pattern, Miss Winkle. I’m using a stash yarn, a luscious merino silk blend in dark pinks and sage greens.

It’s lovely, and now that I’m over the newly-begun-pattern grumps, the shawl is growing slowly and it’s relatively easy to work with around little ones. But I’m feeling the need to work on something larger to give me a bit more instant craftification (n. craft gratification) …

I’ve been planning a blanket for our new hallway snug sofa for a while. The yarn arrived but other things pushed it down the priority list. Now’s the perfect time to cast it on. It won’t give me finished object craftification anytime soon, but the combination of big wool, big needles and lots of stitches means I will see it grow quickly between my fingers!
