The bookmark is done! And the counted-work momentum lasted long enough for me to work on the blue jay as well; I finished the chest and part of the acorn caps. The rest of the acorns and three leaves are all that’s left.
I’ve also started the alpaca shawl; I’m using the Shetland Tea Shawl pattern from A Gathering of Lace. The initial rows are done, and I’m about to start the first lace pattern. So far, the main difference between working with laceweight yarn and my usual worsted projects is that I can’t knit with this in the dark — I can’t feel the stitches like I can with heavier yarns, because the yarn’s so fine. Fortunately I’ve still got the Celtic Scarf for dim-light knitting…. (To keep the scarf from completely bogging down, I’m making myself knit two rows on it before each session of shawl knitting. That seems to work so far.)
