I wasn’t planning on knitting anything lacy or shawlish this year as my concentration levels are pretty rubbish at the moment and stocking stitch is my new best friend. 
But Diane told me about the Socktopus Mystery Shawl knitalong on Twitter and because the shawl uses less than 400 metres of fingering/4ply yarn, it really shouldn’t take too long and I’ll have something nice to get baby sick on at the end of it. 
So week one has been posted and I have swatched. Not entirely sure about the yarn choice as the pattern doesn’t seem to “pop”. I might change to sock yarn; I have plenty in my stash after all!
