I’m not getting much knitting done. Can I reconstruct my day? The limitations are fairly strict. I keep sinking down and knitting a few peaceful rows of half-brioche – I’m a couple of inches beyond the underarm cast-off by now; and that’s all.

One bit of knit-related news, though. I got a picture of myself back from the framer yesterday, and hung it up. My sister commissioned Franklin to do it in 2006. Eventually one gets around to things. Sorry about the reflections.




I love Carol Sunday’s “Nancy’s Vest”.

    Oh dear, another pattern...more yarn? I have to confess I actually bought a pattern the other day too. (I'll adapt it of course as I am too lazy to knit other people's patterns.) But...I can see you in that Sunday vest!

    What fun! The portrait is wonderful. And a few peaceful rows of half brioche may be what one needs in stressful and structured times. I do like that vest as well. Classic and comfy looking.

    I so love Franklin's drawings and I'm so glad to hear you have a personalized one. Have you seen that he is coming out with a coloring book in June? http://www.amazon.com/Dream-Yarn-Knit-Crochet-Coloring/dp/1942021755/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1460642554&sr=1-1&keywords=franklin+habit

      This is the first I've heard of this. Thank you for mentioning it. I can't wait to see what Franklin has come up with!

    Love the Franklin portrait. Yes, one does eventually get around to things - and then thinks, "Well, what was the big problem?"

    The portrait by Franklin is adorable. Very glad you now have it on your wall.

    It's a good thing to have comfort knitting on hand when things are a bit stressful.
