I enjoyed my Day hugely. I didn't go anywhere, or do anything except read and knit and talk to my cat.

My husband was reported to be in good spirits, and C. said that Colin the sumo wrestler was gone. But she also said that the curtains were drawn around his bed, and that she thought there was someone there named Kevin. Like Doubting Thomas, I'll need the evidence of my own eyes on this one. The main thing is that my husband is bearing up.

Everything is more or less in place for his release. I will try to find out from the hospital today, what their plans are.

Back here at the ranch, I knit a whole other triangle for the Dunfallandy blankie:

That picture was taken when I had knit only one. Notice, if possible, how some of the cables seem to run from one square or triangle across to another.

Here are pics plucked from Google Images' Dunfallandy Stone page.

The triangles have a final row unique to themselves. Both times, something went wrong with mine. I don't think it shows. Most of that row is purl. The mistake means that some of the increases and decreases (there aren't many) will be in somewhat the wrong place. I emerged with the right number of stitches. But the fact that it has happened twice means that I need to examine the instructions with some care – they are stitch-by-stitch, not charted – to see where either they or I went wrong.

The whole pattern has been so meticulously planned and proof-read that it didn't occur to me, after the first mishap, that the fault could be other than my own.

I think I might try to knit a third triangle today, while the iron is hot.

Nosenabook, I do agree that Powiwi Pink would be a fun colour of Zealana Rimu DK, just to have. Hulucraft said yesterday that they have dispatched my package, so I may have more to tell you soon.
