Round 136 of 156

About 12k stitches to go before I start the border

Round 120 of 156

The thing I truly love about long projects like this is the ability to just sink into the present moment

I’m making blue stitches, I’m occasionally placing a bead, and I know I will be doing these two things for probably the next month to three months

It becomes what feels like a timeless activity. Click, click, click, bead, click click click

Celestarium update:

Still blue. Still beaded. Still going to take approximately 6,789 months to finish

I don’t know how other people knit this pattern, but one thing I for sure am not doing is ceaselessly counting while knitting

At the beginning of the round, I insert locking stitch markers where each YO or bead should go, and then knit merrily away without needing to count at all while I work

Also, I can obsessively count & recount while placing the stitch markers, instead of reknitting for fear I missed something #Knitting #FiberArts

Last round of increases complete, and last set of charts begun! I’m nearly finished!

(Dear reader, she is nowhere near finished. She’s just delusional, and we shall leave her to her happy obliviousness.)

In case anyone was wondering how the Celestarium shawl is coming along:

It is blue. It has sparkles. It has several lifelines and soooo many stitch markers. I’m happy with it, but there’s soooo much of it left to knit
