Moving on…

Not much knitting got done over the weekend which was hot and sweltery, though I did start a little cotton project which I’ll show you later, if it works out :) I did work on Picovoli some, but I have a minor problem..

This is a little fuzzy but I think you can make out what looks like (to me anyway) a very sloppy set of increases.  They aren’t sloppy - really!  I think it’s the thick ‘n thin yarn that makes it look that way.  But still… I’m being too sensitive here, aren’t I?  Yarn of an uneven ply isn’t going to look or act like something smooth and uniform.  That’s part of the fun - right?  Sigh…





On the other hand, I like the fabric a lot.  Certainly things are going smoothly and I’m not having any problems (aside of boredom - Colleen stop snickering!!) with the pattern.  I like the colors and the softly nubbly texture very much.  I guess I’ll carry on for a while and see what happens.





The cats aren’t awfully thrilled with the weather these days.  Goldie takes it reasonably well, amazingly well considering his thick coat.  Myria put some ice cubes into his water bowl last night and Goldie entertained us by watching them very suspiciously for quite a while.  Jade is personally affronted by summer and cannot understand why the world isn’t lap-friendly any more.  She’s spending a lot of time on the hard wood floor in the hall or on a cushion right in front of one of the fans.

I guess that’s about it for today folks.  I’m having a little trouble with the heat myself.  It will all work out, it’s just that transition issue.  Just a little while ago I was wearing socks and mitts to keep my digits warm and flexible and now I’m ducking into the shower every couple of hours or so just to cool off.  Once the weather settles down, I should be able to sleep again and my body will stop being so grumpy.  Of course, this is New England; it will never settle down :)

No trackbacks yet.

1. I was going to ask what kind of weather you’re having. I guess I’ll dress for NM heat & be just fine, eh?

   I love that yarn & yes, you’re being too picky about the increases. ::grin:::

2. Bron - LOL!  Well, I thought that might be the case - I can’t always trust what my eyes tell me.  But, you know, I didn’t want to be wearing the thing out of the house if it turned out it was god-awful :) Thanks for your thoughts :)

   I don’t know about next weekend - but for this weelend you could certainly have dressed for New Mexico and been right at home!

3. Who me?

   Nah, I’ll keep my snickering to myself ... until you’ve reached the point where you’ve gotten rid of the slight titillation of the increases, and it’s just knitting around and around and around ...

4. Colleen - You’re a big help! LOL!  Actually, this is fine TV knitting but I do have to break it up with something a little more tasty now and again :) And who says it’s going to be plain stockinette around and around and around?  Heheh…
