Here’s to the last full week before my Philly trip!
And here's to some WIP updates:
One yellow four corners is ready for garter stitch grafting. One more to go out of this skein, and that one is 1/3 done. I love these!
The Alison’s scarf (modified version) has consumed one skein of Paton’s Décor (210 yds). I gauged it to be about half done for a 5-6 ft scarf. I think it is a beautiful pattern, but it is slow going, and getting a little tedious. Maybe the spinning has consumed much of my time, and perhaps my routine of having 3 projects on the needles at any given time has been disrupted, for the same reason, and knitting only on the scarf has become drudgery. But it is pretty, is it not?
I cast on the Forest Canopy today, after reviewing and rewriting the pattern for my own readability. It is on circs, so getting it on the plane will be no problem. Should have seen the mess I had trying to find the end of the yarn. I finally just pulled a chunk out of the middle, and had such a knotted mess. It took 2 Knitting C0-Workers plus me to get it untangled, and it required all six hands. I am not kidding. And we are intelligent women. It is fixed now, and cast on. I believe this will be a fun project and am looking forward to the variety.
I think those 3 projects, along with my spindle and some roving, ought to keep me pretty busy during my travels.
The Spinning Neighbor has a sick boy, so there won’t be that camaraderie this evening. She offered the loan of one of her wheels for my enjoyment, though. I thought that very generous. It gives me another opportunity to use a different wheel. The Schacht on Craigslist was gone by the time I contacted the seller. Guess it‘s not meant to be yet.
And that’s okay. It will happen when it’s time.
While checking out new groups on Ravelry late this afternoon, a Forest Canopy KAL group has been started. Talk about timing! I have not ever been part of a knit along, but I am thinking this is too serendipitous to not join.
Life amazes me.
