After figuring out years ago that I can listen better, especially over long periods of time, if I have something to keep my hands busy, I try to always have a #crochet project on hand heading into multi-day meetings or conferences.
Ran out of time to prep for this one, so I started winding my skein into a yarn ball during opening remarks, got my sizing swatch done for a one-skein triangle shawl (Moogly Fortune's Shawlette) by the end of One Track Mind, and made a nice bit more progress during the firetalks...
It's the perfect con project - a simple diagonal-box-stitch repeat, no complex counting required. Just add a box every row until I run out of yarn, and then frog back until I have enough yarn left for the edging. 😁
We honestly spent as much time catching up with old friends and meeting new friends as we did attending talks - one of the many reasons we love this con so much! - so I'm only 33 rows in on the shawl. But it's shaping up nicely!
I love the interplay of this colorway and this pattern - thinking it'll be gorgeous once it's finished and blocked. 💖 @crochet
