Knittage
I had a productive weekend really, no photos in this post but some coming soon, I promise. I thought I would report on knittage progress with some UFOs. And, I am pleased to say, that I am sticking to The Pledge with very little effort really. Mind you, the Secret Pal-age helps to stave off wool hunger and yarn lust.
Arisaig - all knitted up, and waiting to be seamed and blocked. Can't muster enough motivation to do it. I am convinced after all that knitting on tiny needles with three ply the damned thing will get seamed and, nightmare of nightmares, will be too small. The fear of that fitting is so bad it is stopping me seaming. One day.
Print O The Wave - the two main body pieces are done. Lacking gusto to join them and pick up the hundreds of stiches to complete it with the lace border. I will get this done though, see if I don't.
I had started a We Call Them Pirates hat to match DJ Mikey's socks. I have tried four times to get gauge. I failed four times. I got fed up. I froggged and threw the yarn in the ends basket in disgust. Project dead.
Tendrils - frogged. This yarn will now become a lovely jumper for me. The beads will be used elsewhere. I just wasn't happy with the shawl. The yarn was too think, it was more like a blanket, and the beads were too heavy. The finished thing would be the weight of a wet greatcoat. Besides I will get more use out of a jumper.
I am working on Danny in hemp at the moment, and am on the second sleeve.
What.
A.
Boring.
Knit.
But I think the FO will be nice so I am sticking with it.
Knittage report ends.
