Due to errant, painful sinuses, a busy social schedule, and a misbehaving sock<\/a>, I didn’t have a big weekend in terms of knitting progress. While the gingerbread cable sock sat in time-out until Sunday evening (all is back now on track with it), I did restart the ice cream sundae socks on smaller needles in a broken, lightly twisted 2×2 rib, and I finished the first border of the berry sea silk scarf from Victorian Lace Today<\/i> (page 80 “scarf with wide striped border”).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I did have some time to do some planning, thinking and perusing. I had asked for suggestions for a sweater pattern to knit using Lamb’s Pride worsted, and I looked up all the suggestions. Thanks to everyone who answered my questions! Rogue<\/a> and Samus<\/a> were my two favorite choices, but Rogue seemed a bit beyond my current abilities, and Samus, although very beautiful with its wide horizontal celtic braid, would put that braid right where I wouldn’t want it. I generally try to pretend that my hips do not exist, and the horizontal braid of Samus would destroy that self-delusion. Several people assured me I could design my own if I chose a drop shoulder style, and I think they may be right. I also remembered a pattern from Knitters<\/i> (Fall 2001) that I liked.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And then I started perusing some of my stitch pattern books, which leaves me with some serious swatching to do.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It would be nice if I could fit some swatches in among my other knitting, so that when I get the Landscape Shawl done, I could be ready for the sweater. I’d cross my fingers that this will all work out, but I don’t know how to knit with my fingers crossed. <\/p>\n

So, I have a bit of a plan. Now it’s time for some more progress. Happy Knitting!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
