hat-in-progress from the bag to work on between page loads, etc.
Read, knit, read, knit, read AND knit, read AND knit...
WHOA! I can knit without looking! Woohooooo! Too cool, because I
was just saying to Daisy tonight that I was jealous of how she could
knit without looking (socks, even, on teeny weeny DPNs). And now here
am I knitting without looking!
Now, it's a plain knit hat on an Addi Turbo circ, but still - no
peeking! Woohoo!
This is a very cool thing and I had to share. Rock on, Knitfolk!
Now, for our Sunday content...
Yesterday I finished the front of my Shetland Chunky sweater, and - JOY! - it's the same size as the back, the armholes line up and everything. Very exciting. Wanted to start the sleeves right away but I've got some "commissions" to work on and also a baby blanket for a baby due next month. Got 1/2 of one commission done - it's a pair of wristwarmers for a little girl in Canadiana "Pink" (which is REALLY pink!) - except I don't have a little-girl sized pattern so I made the usual ones and will just get her mom to measure for me for placement of the thumb hole. I figure they will probably come close to her elbows - good to keep her warm!
The other commission is a poncho in Cottontots that I may start on later this week - it looks simple but challenging too. Will have to see. And I have a hat to finish and another one to start this week, as well as Peter's socks. Busy busy!
I'm really loving how I plan out each week's knitting projects and then (mostly) stick to that plan; I feel like I'm accomplishing a lot more. Of course I'm planning / scheduling my other "to-dos" also so the year is starting well. I even exercised four times this week. YAY!
Time for breakfast - have a groovy day, Bloglanders!
