Day 7: Get up at 7.30am. Put on Black Books. Knit till now. Do stuff on computer for ten minutes. Knit more. Thus have completed second half of second sleeve, plus shoulder shaping to the saddles, first saddle and half of the back section.
Still to do:
Black Books is doing something to my brain. 😉
*knits more*
Continuation of Day 5: W cooked dinner. *hearts him* He did the washing up as well. This left me to collapse in front of episodes of Black Books (end of series 3, and then the beginning of series 2. No, i don’t know why i did that either), and really get to work on the first sleeve, since it proved to be the right width.
The raised lines are twisted stitched where the needles change over. They should come out with blocking (she says.)
Day 6: Sleeve is 17″ having been knitted on the bus on the way home from town. I will do a little bit more after i finish my sandwich. It would be lovely to get a big chunk of the second sleeve done this evening.
Day 3: Am in back hole. Body somehow only 13 1/2″. Have ordered needles.
Day 4: Needles on their way. Go to knitting. Get body to 18″. Have to stop and knit something else.
Day 5: Needles arrive. Start sleeve. Wonder if it is too small even though I’m using the percentages method? Knit about 3″ and then leave for W to try when he gets home from work. Take on large, time specific project (that I will talk about in the next few days), and suddenly have lots of other things to do. Realise I would like to finish jumper regardless. Worry at own sanity.
