Eris: Hmm, ends not woven in.
While I had a two week break between classes, I pulled out some of my knitting projects and got started on them again. One of those projects was my much-loved but oft-neglected Eris. I meant to have Eris finished for my April 2006 trip to France. I missed that deadline, then got engaged and had a wedding to plan, so pretty much all knitting went by the wayside. So, about six months after our wedding, I pulled it back out. We’re planning an August/September trip to Sydney, Australia, and I think this could be a really nice thing to carry along for a bit of warmth in their early spring. (If I’ve done my math correctly. We shall see.)
I love Eris, though. I still don’t like wool very much because it makes me itch and sneeze. The teeny fibers hurt my eyes when they fly up after lots of knitting. I know that my yarn for this project (Elann’s Highland Wool in Raspberry) isn’t necessarily the best quality wool, but it’s good enough for me. It’s a beautiful color, and I like how the fabric looks. I’ve finally finished ALL of the body hem, so I only have sleeves and finishing left to do. That’s kind of hard to believe!
