Knitting moves slowly along.
There wasn't any Monday night knitting
for a few weeks because of the holidays, and then because if Bill's
work schedule getting in the way, I couldn't go the last few weeks,
and the holidays also got in the way of Saturday knitting a bit, but
I have been knitting a little: I'm about halfway through the trees on
my sheep shawl:
and I'm on the fourth and final ball of
blue for my hand spun blanket (no picture because it doesn't look much
different.) once I finish that I'll cast on a few stitches and do a
sideways knit border with the last two balls of white. I can't wait
until I'm there, it will be fun to see exactly how big this blanket
is.
I'm feeling a little miffed about
knitting out though. Because the Monday knitting is so much earlier
than when it was at Flavors a lot of people can't reliably make it,
and the people at More Bread and Jam are (understandable, and
rightfully) thinking of not staying open any longer for it. And
Saturday knitting isn't really all that fun for me because all the
ladies that go there already know each other from other things,
which means I'm usually out of the loop on their conversations, when
anybody shows up, that is, one day I was the only one there and while
it was nice to have tome to just sit and knit, it was also kind of
lonely. And then the last time I went the two other ladies who
showed up sat off at another table and talk to each other and
essentially ignored me the whole time. So I'm not even sure if I
want to continue to go to that either.
Despite all the roadblocks to finding
actual knitting time, I have been able to get a new pattern posted!
It's and oldie but a goodie: I knit it a long time ago, but never
really got around to formatting everything up properly until
recently. It's been test knit a few times, and some errors were
found, and I just the other day fixed it all up and you can now
download the Arachen's
Veil Shawl pattern!
have fun with it!
