Slow and Steady???
Last night DH and an out of town friend jammed upstairs and I just couldn’t resist the knitting any longer. So, with a new wrist brace that provides support but doesn’t totally restrict movement I got up to the decreases for the waist last night. Then, today I went to the LYS knitting tea. I wasn’t there too long, but I now have three of the five decreases completed. I’m hoping to finish that section here before I have to go to choir. Though I have to go through the music from Cabaret and erase any pencil markings so it is ready to turn in tonight so I get the music for the next concert at the end of May…
Now that I’m a ways up from the short rows I’m darned proud! And, I’m not going to apologize from being pleased with myself :-) They look awesome and are very nearly invisible! Now if I only understood where to put the short row shaping for the bust. Though if I continue at this pace I won’t be to that point until next week probably…
A group of the gals from the knitting tea are taking a road trip to Brown Sheep’s factory next Tuesday. I *really* want to go, but am not sure my back will hold up to the nearly 6 hours on the road in one day, plus I’ll still have the last lesson for my classes to write next week. I do feel honored they included me though as it seems that group is always talking about phone calls and such they’ve had and I feel a little too on the outside yet. But, today was good. It is so nice to be included!
Oh, I almost forgot that I finished the Critter Knitter Blanket #1 on Saturday night while watching Lilo and Stitch with aforementioned out of town friend. It’s boring so I probably won’t post a pic of it - at least individually anyway…
