I had a post written in my mind on Thursday but it languished there and never found escape.
I had another post on Friday, but was too tired to write, probably because I came home from knitting group/class and then sat up knitting until 2:30 before finally going to bed and having to be rousted up by workmen 5 hours later.
There has been a little bit of knitting, but not enough. I did however spend a lot of time on Ravelry, beginning to add some kind of accounting of my yarn stash — a truly daunting process.
And I have spent a lot of time looking at patterns, and my yarn, and thinking about what projects I will have to work on while I am also working on Vancouver; you know, the kind of projects that I need for time spent in the car, or those evenings when I am too tired to think while I knit, or for jut plain old-fashioned escape knitting.
In the meantime I am still knitting hats. They fit my purposes at the moment:
There is a child’s wool hat knit from a leftover skein of something or another:
This will go in my box of hats, scarvse, and mittens that I donate to Morse school in Poughkeepsie every year. It is not fully populated this year, that box, so perhaps it is a good thing that I think there are several more hats in me before I get tired of knitting them.
I also knit two hats for Owen
The brown one is leftover Karabella SuperCashmee about 2/3 of a skein that was left over from my rice stitch cardigan. The cotton hat matches a little sweater I knit Owen last year, before he was born but which just about fits him now. I dont’ usually think about knitting winter hats out of cotton, but it may be more appropritate for a Tennessee winter than the heavy cashmere. But then again, nothing is too good for one’s grandson now is it?
