Apologies everyone. Today obligations exceeded time - you know how that is.
I have been working on the mitt and have completed the thumb gusset. Yesterday I was so spaced out that I got to the center cable and realized I forgotten to do it (the cabling, that is) two rows back. So I sat there and fumed for a few minutes and then decided to see if I could drop the stitches down, cross them and then crochet them back up. Guess what? It’s possible - but it’s also fiddly as all get out. I was pleased that it worked, but I can’t say it saved me any time. Tinking back two rows would certianly have been easier, but a row is only 60 stitches; if a row were 150 stitches, the drop-down, cross and crochet-up technique might indeed save some time. It was a gratifying maneuver to pull off in any case. Even if I didn’t save any time, I learned isomething.
I’ve also been working on the hat-scarf-gloves set I decided to make for myself.
And, I’ve cast on another fuzzy scarf as a gift. Short rows and fur in blue and scarlet.
I’ll show you all of this on Thursday.
Tomorrow, I’m having Mr. Peabody set the way-back machine to the 1930s and 40s for a musical interlude :)
I hope all your Tuesdays were fine!
