And now we return to our regularly scheduled knitting, already in progress ...
J was out late on Saturday night at his bachelor party. Even though I knew he'd likely be home at a ridiculous hour, I couldn't get to sleep at the normal time. Instead, I put a movie in the DVD player and cast on for my garter:
It's a bit slow going (the slowness of knitting lace is compounded here by the cotton thread fighting against me), but you can see I've already got a decent amount done. I think I'm going to wind up making two garters -- one to throw, one to keep -- and as I bought two varieties of crochet thread (this is the thicker of the two here), I think what I'm going to do is knit one out of each kind of thread.I also think I've decided to try to knit myself a Flower Basket Shawl for the wedding using a laceweight Soysilk. I have 34 days to go -- think I can do it? Or am I just nuts?
You knit at the speed of light. I'm pretty sure that 34 days will be a piece of cake for you! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can totally knit a shawl in 34 days. Except that in a few hours, it's going to be 33 days. Better hurry! ;)
ReplyDeleteCute Garter!
ReplyDeleteI think it may be a bit to bite off... since you are the BRIDE. You probably have some other things to do in the next 34 days.
I recall the Harlot not making her wedding deadline last year...
Just to be practical. But if you REALLY want it... go for it! Who needs sleep anyway?!
Finished? I haven't started, and I finished 6 on Friday night! Pirate game tomorrow night, crossing two rivers on Wednesday ... maybe I'll start this weekend.
ReplyDeleteLace is SO not my thing, so I have no clue about the do-ability of the test balloon you just released. If the extra knitting will help your sanity? Give it a shot! Just don't put it on a MUST GET DONE list and make yourself nuts. Hope to see you Wednesday!
OH! And how was the movie? It's next on my netflix queue!
ReplyDeleteI think you can do it! How lovely would that be?
ReplyDeleteI think you can do it...but only if you STOP KNITTING SOCKS!!! :)
