It’s so good to hear another knitter say you don’t like garment knitting. My goal this year was to make some garments. You are completely right about the sizing. I’ve done a sweater jacket in the correct gauge, followed everything perfectly. It fits but not great Now I’m doing something for my one day daughter in law and just hoping it fits! Not only do you have your time invested the yarn is not cheap! So now I can say I’ve done it..I’m done!

That is incredible. Secondly, isn’t it liberating to let go of WIPs that just aren’t making you happy? It’s tough to do, I admit, but we should always knit projects that make our heart (and hands) sing. Enjoy your new yarn and new projects.

That’s an exciting achievement, even if it does create garment knitting problems. I think shawls are a perfect summer project. That grey one in the middle is my favorite.

I have no idea why, but I feel bad that I don’t knit garments, but I have the exact same issues you do. Especially the short and bust thing, i wish I could knit and wear some of those fabulous sweaters but no go.
Those shawls are awesome! I am going to add the second one to my Ravelry queue.
Love your project plans.
