Sundog Report 2 from Amanda
Well, I finally really cast on Saturday after a needle malfunction*. I think I have one or two more increase rounds in the yoke. I haven’t decided what size I’m knitting for sure yet…and I really don’t have to make that commitment for a few more rounds. So, I’ll probably have Isaac (32 mo) try it on before I decide - one more reason I decided a gauge swatch wouldn’t be absolutely necessary. I suppose if you didn’t have the intended recipient handy then a swatch would be necessary. I’m amazed that the yoke has knit up at the rate that it has so far. It’s going really fast considering I can’t usually complete a full round without being called away to help fly a shuttle, push a train, or read a book. I’ve had a couple of good conversations with Isaac about my project too.
Conversation 1:
Isaac: What ‘cha doing?
Me: I’m knitting you a sweater.
Isaac: (with a great big smile) Oh, thank you.
Conversation 2 (about 1 hr later):
Isaac: What ‘cha doing?
Me: I’m knitting you a sweater, remember.
Isaac: No, knit YOU a sweater.
Me: What a great idea, thank you for the suggestion.
Isaac: You are welcome.
Me: But, don’t you want a sweater.
Isaac: Okay.
*Addi Clicks are really cool. However, they don’t necessarily stay put together when sat on. And I wouldn’t expect them to. I still can’t find the missing end. I’m guessing it’s still somewhere in the car. I hope. Meanwhile, my Brittany and Clover sets came through for me.
