Imagine that, actual knitting content on a knitting blog!
First, my minute progress on the first sleeve. We watched the latest episode of Top Chef then Matt played video games for an hour or so last night and this is what I managed to get done. My hands have been so clammy lately I was happy to make any progress at all. I know finishing by the end of the weekend is out, but maybe I can at least get the sleeves both finished.
The new Knitty came out yesterday. Although most of the patterns just aren’t my style, I did see two things I want to make: the Ms Clarke shawl and Flo the Elephant. One of my coworkers saw me looking at the shawl pattern and commented on how pretty it is so I think I’m going to find a yarn at my LYS in similar colors and make one for her. I’ve wanted to make her something but wasn’t sure if she was the shawl type (though she does have a poncho she keeps around for when the office gets cold). Plus, she’s a former knitter/crocheter so I know she’s not allergic to wool (that would have come up in her stories, I’m sure). The elephant, well, that’s just another cute little animal I’ll make for some kid in my family at some point.
What are you all working on right now? Finding any chances to knit in this horrible heat wave?
