It’s another of those times where my inability to be faithful to a single project at a time bites my blog in the ass. (Sorry, blog! Neosporin should clear that right up, though. Wanna bandaid? We’ve got Dora and Hello Kitty, but we’re out of Transformers…)
I worked on several different projects this week, none of which had anything particularly earth-shattering to impart in terms of photographic evidence. I’m designing a pair of kilt hose for The Sainted Husband (TSH), but those came to a screeching halt when despite having knitted a swatch and theoretically having twiddled with maths, the swatch didst lie and the maths were either wrong or likewise untruthful, the cuff turning out a good 2 inches too big around. And so here we are again…back to the drawing board.
(ETA: even as I typed that, I couldn’t handle the guilt and took a couple of photos with the Ott lite. It’s nearly 11 pm so forgive me, but it was these or just my blathering on, so I thought maybe you’d let it slide, yes?)
But it’s Sunday, a week since my last post, and I didn’t want to let another week go without at least popping in to wave at you. Happy Easter, to those who celebrate; happy belated Passover; and happy belated Ostara, as well. I know I must be missing several other religious observations in there someplace, so please forgive me if I’ve missed something dear to you.
So while I’m back at the drawing board for the kilt hose — I knitted that cuff on US 3 Addi lace needles, so I’m going to try the same cable as the focus and add in some smaller ones to add width to the cuff, on US 1 Addi lace needles, to see if that gives me the row gauge I THOUGHT I had with the 3′s — I’ll leave you with a serene image of the Potomac river here in Alexandria, taken while I was on a bike ride this past week with the iPhone camera:
