The knitting continues.
Sorry about the quality of the image. I ordered yarn from Webs and started a sweater. Meh, the color isn’t great, there are issues with the cable pattern. I wasn’t happy.
I found this yarn at my local LYS, I’m not thrilled with it for a sweater. Yes the pattern calls for a thinner yarn, but this feels too thin. I’m clearly on a yellow kick these days. I’m going ahead with it even if I’m not thrilled. The color is nice, lightweight sweaters are nice. It will take me a long time, and that might just be what I need.
I’m knitting this on size 5 needles, so it is going faster than the traditional 1 or two that I would have used if I were knitting socks.
Oh yes, I found a different lace cable pattern. This is a basic top down raglan sweater. I like the detail of the increases at the shoulder. I like the way the yarn is creating fields of color.
I also finished off a shawl for a friend. Remember the green shawl I made? I ran out of yarn for the final band. Irene didn’t, but, this lace pattern was just too much for her. So I finished the job. I hope to get a picture once she blocks it. I will knit, I will not block for others.
Also, On Sunday my knitting group met in the park and it was heaven. I do not like Zoom! You always have to be ‘on’. Even if you want to tune out for a few minutes. It is so lovely to sit with real people, and have different conversations with different people.
The numbers of new cases throughout California are plateauing, to many peoples livelihoods have been destroyed, too many children are suffering from isolation. When historians look back, they will see the death from suicide, depression and crime will be larger than those of the Wuflu. It’s time to restart our lives.
