Why yes, Term 2 is OVER and I have time to, I don’t know, do FUN things like a) sleep, b) read, c) knit, d) clean my house, and e) listen to Great Courses. I’ve got a few things I am responsible for before heading to town for a shopping (and some pampering!) trip, but I have so enjoyed getting to be in my house, and to think about something other than late/poorly done homework. So, to celebrate, I finished the “Curve of Pursuit” or Crazy blanket I’ve been working on for 2 ½ years! Yes, the angle is a little funny because I didn't want to get my shadow on the picture.
Knitting the boarder was a test in patience and endurance, but I’m glad I stuck it out—it looks so nice! Plus, that puts me at 1,630 meters for Stash Dash! So glad to get this off my needles, and soon to send it on its way to the dear friend who’s little girl needs this.
I am getting close to finishing my Magrathea scarf too; I weighed my yarn and found that it is time to start the edging! I’m still not sure why I bought this yarn, but I’m kind of liking this scarf… Not sure if this will be mine or a gift, but I’ll be glad to get it off the needles one way or another!
After 3 attempts at the Sherman toe, I finally got one that almost met up and decided I could live with it. I haven’t put loads and loads of time into this project as I’m trying to get my big-yardage ones done first, but this will be travel knitting when I head down to the Copper Belt.
I also finished turning the heel on the Mystic Spiral sock, and am ready to start the next wedge section. Let’s see if I can count this time…
Oh—and I also finished the fourth and final fingering weight dishcloth made with some birthday yarn and some random stuff I happen to have out here. As a super picky about her dishcloths person, I am willing to knit them at such a tinny gauge because I like the results. And I hate dishcloths that are too big, so there was some trial and error on the correct size—65 stitches at the widest point of the diamond seemed to hit that for me. I think one will be a gift, but the others are MINE.
So, that’s what I’ve been knitting! I’ve been doing some really good reading too, but that will be another entry.
HOLIDAY!
