Weird February 22, 2006

I haven’t been able to post since yesterday but something in the fiddling around I’ve just done seems to have worked…

I finished my first sleeve last night and started the second. I’m a bit tired tonight thanks to every halfwit in my workplace harrassing me today! So I think I will sew in the first sleeve and weave in the ends and have an easy night rather than doing much knitting on the second sleeve. I will probably regret it!

almost there (sort of) February 22, 2006

I’ve given in, and am now officially ill (Bronchitis). I think it was the refusing of caffeine which might have been the tip off. But the good news is, I get magic little blue pills, which will make everything feel better. (There are times when my love for penicillin, in all its forms, rivals my love for shetland spun yarn.)

That said, the Shawl (part 1) will be off the needles tonight. (Yippee! Said very quietly, as anything above sotto voce brings on a phlegm attack.) So I will sort out the provisional cast-on, and head for blocking. There is an outside chance that there might be photos tomorrow.

Thanks for all the suggestions re alternatives to knitting a lining. Still, 4 days left, so surely a lining is possibly (I now have magic blue pills to help). Okay, so that may be my oxygen-starved brain talking, but I will not surrender, nor lay down my needles, nor put away my yarn, until the flame has died! Knit on, knit on, and knit again.

So, how is everyone else doing?
