Not much tonight. Lent is over. This is the day, under the
old dispensation, when Evelyn Waugh would walk happily about smoking his first
cigar. Happy Easter, Happy Passover, happy pleasant weekend to all, as
appropriate.
Mary Lou (and others interested), the note from Sharon
Miller referred to yesterday is (I think) the footnote on page 36 of Heirloom
Knitting, in which she says that “with these finer yarns [cobweb-weight and
lace-weight] both these decreases [/ and \] could be simply and traditionally
worked as ‘knit 2 together’, without affecting the finished appearance after
dressing.”
So I am not at liberty to substitute SSK for 2tog, knitting
as I am with jumper-weight. I’m nearly finished, and continue to like the look
of things.
I still may try it out! HAppy Easter Jean.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter from a very warm Broken Hill.
ReplyDeleteSo with Lent over, is it back to the Weston's vintage? Very warm here too in Essex. We were serving cream teas all afternoon at the NT property where we volunteer, and will be again tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWarm here, too. Tee-shirt weather, in fact. But it's still only April. I will not pack away anything yet.
