I think he’s tired of modeling the knitting.




I think he’s tired of modeling the knitting.

I’m doing better on my French Challenge than I did on the Knitting Olympics. I have just as much coaching assistance, but much less distraction. I was so exhausted tonight when I got home from work that I decided it was a knitting-only night.

So first I (and Clive) finished up the collar. I then puzzled through the proces of picking up the stitches from the collar — like the other picking up of stitches, new and complicated to me but definitely worth the finished appearance! Then I puzzled through the cabled raglan increases (I think I’ve got them down), and I started zipping through the yoke knitting. I still love this sweater, and I just love how the pattern is written so that things turn out so nice and neat with minimal finishing. Yay!!

Oh, but I forgot to mention the bit where I’d knit my stitch markers into the fabric of the collar and had to cut them apart with the kitchen scissors. Never mind that part, okay? Thank goodness they were the cheap plastic rings and not my pretty ones. Lord. I promise that some days I really am smart.
