Serious sunshine today, although still seriously chilly. C. came in the morning.
Knitting went well. I finished the collar of my Spalding sweater, and embarked on a sleeve. I did the first round wrong — knitting a round which I should have purled, after picking up the stitches. I am currently employed in unpicking my way around. Everything is harder than it used to be.
Maureen (comments yesterday) I read Franklin every day on Youtube, and that’s where I saw the picture of you and your husband. I probably saw it on Monday.
Speaking of comments, I was slightly disappointed that nobody lept in to tell me to buy one of KD’s MKAL kits. (Maureen had already advised me to do so, a quatr’ occhi as we say in Italian.) I still haven’t decided. It would be ridiculous.
Wordle: we were back to the old threes and fours today. Except that my clever daughter Rachel scored a resounding two. Mark and Alexander were the threes. Four for everybody else, including the father-and-son pair in DC.
Chilly but bearable here in Maryland. It was very cold last night, but the sun helps a lot.
ReplyDeleteProgress! Collar done, sleeve begun!
Sympathy for the unpicking. I once tried to knit a small object in multicolor patterning with no errors and I did a lot of unpicking. It was worth it for the result, but tiresome.
Well let me add my voice to Maureen's - it will be a nice diversion since you aren't going to Lourdes. I am making an Emotional Support Chicken, jumping on the bandwagon. It is not the sort of project I normally do - my excuse it that it will be good preparation for the short rows class I'm teaching soon!
ReplyDeleteEr...you are thinking about buying more yarn? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always THINKING about buying more yarn!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes buy more yarn - I shouldn't
