Lynne, I really like this sweater; I'd like to think about making it, too. Could you give us a heads-up as to what the name of the sweater is so that we could track down the pattern? Thanks! Janet
THAT WAS THEN THIS IS NOW In a fit of depravity I ripped the above sock out, just wasn't happy working on it, so now its toast. And I feel better even seeing the small leftover balls. Went thru all project bags looking for my Koigu yarn, and in the bag found a glove already started. Back now to my much loved gloves. A number of years ago traded two different people gloves for 5 balls of Koigu each (was much cheaper then). Plus had bought lots from eBay, so have enuff to make many more pair, especially since I save all left over little balls. Eventually I'll go back to making socks (its in the blood). I'm not taking orders anymore tho, will just make what I like (especially Monster Socks). Maybe now and then a pair of fair isle type. Its going to be a brown and mild Christmas, one of the few since I've lived here. Snow in forecast for the middle of next week. The best part of the holiday season (IMHO) is the World Junior Hockey tournament, in Europe...
I use vintage 4 inch 2.25 mm needles for the fingers of my gloves, when one came up missing yesterday I was close to panic. Searched thru all possible places, even went so far as checking box of currently used stuff, zero. After giving it up to the needle eating monster, went for supper. After picked up another project and bingo the lost needle had been stuck into the ball of yarn on the project. RELIEF. Not at all sure I could buy the 4 inchers anymore. Had two late afternoon visits with Thunderman and Lightfoot, lots of noise and spectacular light show, followed by the most welcome heavy hard rain. Puddles in my driveway in just minutes. Since I last wrote made a trip to Prince George, BC to Subaru dealership, appointment Thursday at 8:30 for windshield replacement, had knitting with for the 4-5 hour wait. Car was finished just after 12:30, headed south, made it to 100 Mile House where I overnight at Super 8, then early Friday south again to Ashcroft and Desert Hills farms. Boug...
Windy enuff that barely colour changed leaves are falling like snow, yard is already covered. And I’d bet that the wind will blow up something nasty. Startitis has landed. Can hardly believe how many projects I, have on the go, gloves, socks (3 pr), baby booties, short bed socks, and prolly more that I’ve forgotten about. As of right now I’ve got shortie bed socks closest to finishing point.after that job is done back to a darkish coloured pr of socks (reds are main colour). College football season is underway, I pick out games I want to watch, Michigan being first choice. Saturdays are college games and Sundays are pro games. Have been a football fan as long as I can remember, other vices could be worse. Neighbour was at Desert Hills sent me a message asking if there was anything I wanted, another 25 lb box of real field tomatoes arrived the next day. Tomatoes now with every meal, wishing I had cottage cheese to go along with. I have 3 different bright orange yarns co...
