I really am making progress…
Okay, so my progress is much slower than I would have hoped. With my ample size we’re talking only 4 rows completed in about 30 minutes. And, I can only knit for an hour before I have to take a break. I wish things were going faster! But, I’m only a few inches from starting the arm hold shaping. I’m hoping to be there by bed time tonight.
There it is, a whole lot of st st!
If I hadn’t have been almost done with my increases I think I would have been highly tempted to rip and do it in the round ala Theresa’s directions. I’m pretty sure I’ll end up working a second one. Perhaps with some added patterning in a central band or maybe just some yummy stripes. That one I will definitely do in the round. If for no other reason than my purling rows take me about 20% longer to complete than my knitting rows :-P
Both DH and I have been wiped, partially from allergies so we ended up staying home this weekend so Easter was just like most any other weekend when we decide we want to hang at home. It probably meant less knitting time I would have had 6 hours on the road if we had gone to his parents’ house, plus I tend to knit a lot when I’m visiting them because it is the only way I can stay awake after having to take muscle relaxers to get through the car ride, LOL!
We did get a fair bit of snow between snow until evening on Saturaday and then more snow arrived last night after we had melted Saturday’s offerings. I’m not complaining one bit though as we need the moisture so terribly bad. Yes, it would have been nice if it has been in a non-frozen form, but we’ll take whatever we can get!
Here’s today’s gratuitous puppy pic…
“Mom, would you put down that knitting and that darn camera and give me some attention?? Please??”
