Catching Up - Part I
Sorry it's been awhile. The move has sucked up much of my free time... but we are almost completely out of the slum-lord, yucky house! Yippee!
Quite a bit has been going on in the knitting, sewing, crafting front - I'll post it in parts to keep things interesting :)
Most recently (and after a two week hiatus), Kris, Miyon and I met on Tuesday for our weekly knitting. After some yummy grub from Pat & Oscar's (Thanks Miyon!), we settled in. Kris worked on River, Miyon on a beanie, and I on the Interlacements Shawl. This shawl goes on forever...
It's currently at 52"... I would like to get it to 70" before casting off. If my estimations are right, that's about eight more sixteen row repeats! Am I ever going to get this one done or what?!?
Kris then started on River's beaded knot... she was so nice to let me "borrow" some beautiful silvery-white beads that she picked up on her Rhinebeck Vacation:
Using her tiny crochet hook, I beaded them onto the second ball of KSH. I have yet to start the knitting on it though.
Speaking of River, here she is in all her 11" beauty:
That being said, I'm making some pretty good progress on October's Goals. This coming weekend I hope to get the Bolero blocked, finishing it up; and get blocking done on Ash.
Stay tuned.... coming up on Installment II of Catching Up.... a craft fair and major stash enhancement...
hi marisa...i saw on the river KAL that you were wondering about whether you'd have enough left over to do the knot if you did extra reps. i did 1 or 2 extra reps and had enough to do the knot PLUS i still have some of the 2nd skein left over. good luck! ~kate
