@#$! early bed times

Jump to Comments

I am working very far away from home. Far enough that I have a home away from home, which currently does not have internet access. I got far enough on the Swallowtail Shawl today that I am binding off. It’s a an i-cord bind off as near as I can tell. Unfortunately, there are 323 stitches to bind off and because it’s an i-cord bind off it’s like binding off 642 of them or so.

I went home tonight so I could go out to dinner with a friend of mine (and my husband’s), so it’s an hour and a half commute to work in the morning. So it’s 10:30 and it’s bed time. Just as well as I haven’t got time to block it now. I suppose I can take it to knitting group tomorrow night, where I will be a brand new member. Then I can magically bind it off. So, expect to see a picture of one blocked Swallowtail this Sunday.

Since I’m here, I’ll also mention that I got more miters from Karrie (Girl on the Rocks) and that I do have some photos in the camera of the other miters. There will be internet access in the room I’m renting very soon I’m told. So until then, hold tight. Thanks for the pins Karrie! And the miters are gorgeous. They are going to look fantastic with the others.

I don’t have enough miters, so I’m thinking I will extend the deadline to December 1. Remember we like green cascade 220. They don’t have to be green, but some green is definitely appreciated.

And Sock Wars starts very soon. If you knit in the Salem, Oregon area and want details about the knitting group that is meeting this Sunday afternoon, please leave me a note.
