Eris is back!
Things have settled down enough for me that I can pick up the needles again. After the trip for Oma’s funeral I got sick, and let me just tell you how bad I felt: I didn’t want to bother picking up knitting while I lay on the couch all day. Yep. That’s some sickness, my friends. Nothing could tempt me, no matter how pretty or needed or easy it was.
But I’m back now! I watched Amazing Race last night — I boycotted that stupid “family” version they did last — and picked up Eris again. I want Eris finished in time to take it with me to France in April.
It’s a little hard to get back in the groove of reading the charts and dealing with the more complicated cables, but I’m getting there. I think I’m heading into the home stretch of the collar, and then it will be the fun of … whatever comes next. Adelle asked me about the next part of the pattern, and I realized I hadn’t reaad ahead at all. I guess I really should, but … I never do!
I’m also forgetting that I’m using straight needles. I kept putting down one needle, holding onto the knitting with my left hand, and doing something on the computer … and then losing the other needle. I almost always use circs, and I’m used to my darn needles staying put!!
