This is Cheryl Faust’s Promises in the Dark (pattern purchased on Ravelry).

Promises in the Dark is a triangular shaped shawl, knit from the top edge, down. The pattern is created using the mosaic knitting technique, using just one color per row.

New needle sets from Knitter’s Pride are on the way to us. They are coming from the west coast so it could be Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. The needles are available online for preorder.

I left work early and came home to work. I because so engrossed in my paperwork that I forgot to start dinner. Oops. It’s started now so no one will be going hungry. I have a few minutes before Beth and the dogs get home so I’m going to knit a few rows while the house is puppy free.
