multidirectional entry
I feel like I must post because I nagged Omar so long about this blog. We are going to make it pretty and trick it out, we just need time to decide on design and get to know movable type.
Little project first: I've been making a multidirectional scarf in Noro Kureyon in color 95, which is all sorts of lime, yellow, raspberry and olive goodness. I love raspberry and olive together so much! And I finally learned to do short rows. My breasts will be accommodated. Anyway, the scarf is great but I need more Kureyon in this colorway, I only had one ball.
Now for Kyoto progress. I had seamed the shoulders and picked up the collar and knit it and bound it off when I discovered that the front pieces were on backwards. I thought I was going to cry. I do not understand stair step shoulder seams at all. Anyway, I've reseamed the shoulders and the sides. I am going to pick up a sleeve next because I can't quite deal with knitting that collar again. I would like to be done with this within the month.
Guilty conscience: Wedding Afghan for friend whose 1 year anniversary rapidly approaches. Knit on size 36s, what is my problem?
When we discovered the Kureyon behind the dresser while cleaning the closet, we also found an extra pair of size 36 47" circs. I need to swap 'em.
I can't wait to see my llama's face. Maybe it is just too lame to call her Dolly.
Yarn hunt for Salt Peanuts continues. And we're on the lookout for a good pullover pattern for Omar, hopefully that would use our stash of 20 balls of Lana D'oro in Olive. Like the one in the new IK, but would need three more balls. Sigh.
