I get to knit small person things for an expectant someone at work. Starting with the EZ 100th Anniversary Pi Shawl, which, when knit with 2 strands of Lion Brand Pound of Love held together on size 10.5 needles, becomes a throw blanket. Using pastel green and antique white. I'm knitting the Hearts version. Loving that it will move along quickly. More and better images to come. And if by chance you know the recipient, don't tell her. It's going to be a surprise.
Had to post progress on Achilles Heal. Different sort of architecture for me. At the heel you take back stitches and put them on a holder. Knit part of instep flat. That's where I'm stopping. See the pictures.
Started with my first mystery sock knit-a-long. Top down, two at a time, magic loop. First clue was the cuff, very cool. Just finished. Pretty, no?
Working on my breaking hearts sock. Need to finish it before Tuesday so I can take it to work with me. I get to show it to the education coordinator so I can find out about teaching. Whee!
I get to spend my weekend knitting and pulling my stuff together. Even Mike is encouraging me in his own way. Not a bad time.
And yes, I took these pics at the bowling alley. It's a smoke free pet free environment.
Stitched up hole pup chewed in sofa cushion (albeit roughly) and hole in coat pocket. Won't win any awards but they're functional. Should work on his jeans pockets next. That would surprise the hell out of him.
Gonna knit more to. Working on siren sleeves two at once. And a sock. And shawlette that's nearly finished. Get stuff to take to work on Tuesday to show education coordinator so I can get approved to teach. Would so love that.
Orientation in the morning. It's not the biggest deal, but enough to make me jittery. Hope I can sleep tonight. No real clue what to expect at this point.
Wish me luck, or something.
And stop asking if I get a discount.
