There are times when I have something to say about life, knitting or other topics. This past week has NOT been that type of time. With Memorial Weekend here in the U.S. and time with friends and family, I seem to have been distracted from writing, until today.
It is time to bring you up to date on the slow and steady progress made on Viaduct. It is being knit on my square needles with the Indigo coloured Zephyr lace weight, Fantastic Knitting yarn. This wonderful yarn is performing beautifully with this design
As a brief reminder, I seem to be on a roll with lace knitting so another shawl/scarf seemed in the cards. Viaduct uses nupps to create what I find to be a lovely open and airy design.
The instructions fit easily on one page meaning it should be easy to remember, but I have not yet conquered it. As you can see below, three full repeats of the 14 rows for the design have been finished. I am starting to feel pretty comfortable with the nupps although the 13th row has lots and lots of them. It is the row that takes me twice as long to knit and more importantly it takes twice as long to purl back as well. It is important to be sure all 7 nupp stitches are brought back into one on that purl side. It is great to feel so confident at this point, which is really just the beginning.
Viaduct is worked on during times of clear concentration, and that is happening more and more often as its ebbs and flows becomes more familiar. Here's a quick look at where my Indigo coloured Viaduct is as of today.
More about the other easier project I am working on late at night or whenever concentration is sagging next.

| Those yarns running horizontally are lifelines making the three repeats pretty easy to find. |
