Well, welcome back to WIP Wed, everyone!  Hope you're keeping warm in what is, officially, now a polar vortex.  Yeah, that's happened this year again. 

Well, regardless of the cold, the Marianna Shawl is still growing.  I'm almost through the first of three balls of yarn, and the shawl is now 200-plus stitches and still going strong.  

And I'm -still- drafting the setup chart.  I feel like that's eye-roll worthy, for how big a set up chart this is going to be!  I might end up just charting the whole shawl and splitting it into parts.  If you're a Pattern Muse over on Patreon, I've recently uploaded the most recent version of the draft for you folks to stare at (and make fun of, there's at least two new mistakes in there!)

Anyway, I'll be drafting the next section of the shawl over on Twitch for the next little while (and once I finish the drafting, I'll go back to the knitting!)  And it's planned as the Q2 Pattern Release for the Pattern Muses over on Patreon.   It's rather scrunched up on the needles (curses of a 16 inch circular), but if all goes to plan, it will be released in April/May! 

Yarn is *Knit Picks Gloss Lace in "Marina", which is a lace-weight 70% Merino and 30% silk. The colour is discontinued, sadly, but Gloss Lace is still available!  It holds up well, and I've had no trouble with yarn barf from my centre-pull ball.  I've had a few moments where the yarn has slip-knotted around itself but they've all come untangled really easily. And it held up to some serious tinking without any trouble whatsoever. 

The stitch pattern is actually based on the work of the wonderful Naomi Parkhurst of Gannet Designs! She's freely allowed designers to adapt her stitch patterns, which I think is wonderful!  So go check out her stuff!

Stitch Markers are from *Fibremancy, and I got one set at the Barrie Fiber Festival back in August, and the other set over on her Etsy Shop.  They're marking my pattern repeats, and they've saved me -so- much trouble by doing so! 

So I think that's it for this week's WIP Wed update!  I hope you folks are enjoying these posts!    And, as always, I'd love to see what you're working on -- please, feel free to post links to your projects in the comments, so I can see all the amazing things. Also, if you're working on one of my patterns, tag it as #sarahdawnsdesigns so I can find you on Social Media!
