Another fine autumn day. Another circuit of the garden, all strewn with leaves.

 Here’s the first part of Clue Two, finished.

 I have progressed a bit further than that. I’ve picked up the stitches for the wing on the other side, and purled a few rows. Janice (comment yesterday) I don’t think I know “Martyn of Knit365” and must make his acquaintance, as I am coming to suspect that my purl, too, is substantially looser than my knit. I didn’t know that. I doubt if I have ever purled a substantial block of fabric before – why would I? I hope I can tighten up, or that it’ll settle itself down. I have abandoned all thought of converting to knit.

 

Here is another pic, blurry but adequate:

 It illustrates carrying a second colour up the side in order to knit a forthcoming stripe with it. If you just cross the two yarns every time you start a row on that side, the one you aren’t using will bury itself completely in your knitted-on i-cord edging. Assuming you are knitting on an i-cord edging. I am delighted to know this.

 

I can’t keep up this pace much longer. I think I may be knitting four or five hours a day. I am still afraid that the MKAL will end and the pack will disperse while I am still far from the end, and I won’t be motivated to go on with all this silliness. Maybe I’ve done enough by now that momentum will carry me forward.

 

Wordle: Three for me and Thomas and Daughter-Rachel and Theo, four for Mark, five for Alexander and his wife Ketki. Nothing from Granddaughter-Rachel.
