This past week did not have near enough knitting time in it, but over weekend I had a chance to put down some good solid work on the Petite Lisette while chatting with a dear friend over Skype. I somehow bungled the decreases a bit—I apparently can’t count to save my life—and had to fudge a bit (‘cause there was NO WAY I was pulling out all that mind numbing stockinette!), and finally got the pleats done. Aren’t they charming? Now it’s divided and all ready to start the top! I’m looking at this, and I think it’s going to be rather bigger than anticipated, but that means it will fit longer, right?
I forgot to post this dishcloth last week; I’m trying out some new round dishcloth patterns; this one is the Double Diamond Dishcloth, and the verdict is a) too big (I have this weird thing about dishcloth size) and b) too much trouble. So, this won’t become a handwork pattern, and I don’t really see myself trying it again unless I used a finer cotton. I started another one this past week that is much more promising. I think this one too might be a little big, but it’s a simple enough pattern to become a go-to.
I got the heel turned on my Blink socks and have started down the foot; this is no mindless knitting again,
And I started the second Groovy sock. I had to fight the color repeat a bit; the dark purple stripe isn’t always consistent, so I’m hoping that won’t become a constant thing. This is also now in the mindless knitting stage.
Parting shot: Subversive toile is making me laugh just now guys. It's Toile About You by Emmy Cicierega was something a friend showed me a long time ago, and I recently remembered and found. Dudes, now I want this on something...
