First project: The Emily Dickinson Shawl by knit/lab.
I did indeed use cobweb weight shetland, knit on Addi Turbo lace needles purchased specially for this project. I learned to add beads to my knitting using a tiny tiny tiny crochet hook. Here it is:
Okay, now I just need to block it. I highly recommend this pattern; it's exceptionally well written and, despite the fact that it was a lot of garter stitch, was addictive to knit.
Second resolution: Rework and standardize my older patterns, particularly the free ones that sort of accumulated before I had the (still haphazard but more controlled) design process that I do now. Several are in progress! Stay tuned!
What are your knitting resolutions this year?

That shawl looks intense! I made the resolution to learn to do stranded colorwork. I want to make Christmas stockings so I figure I can put it off until at least August :)
I made no knitting resolutions, as I'm trying to limit the amount of pressure I put on myself (it's a painfully busy and stressful time at work right now).
But oh, how I love this shawl!! Gossamer shetland, are you kidding me? Pure heaven. Can't wait to see yours blocked!
Mind if I ask where you got the wool for the shawl? Jamieson & Smith do not appear to have your color.
Beautiful shawl! One of my knitting resolutions was to try new techniques, so I followed your yellow-on-yellow pattern with a mind to conquering prov. cast-on and kitchener stitch. Success! Not so much yellow as terra-cotta-on-green... I LOVE it! Just in time for the cold snap. Thank you for the great pattern.
Oh my god, cobweb weight! It looks like a very sinfully delicate thing. Hmm, I think you read my long list of resolutions... I need to knit some kind of colorwork item with the pile of Reynolds Whiskey that I've accumulated.
