I've been working on a few knitting projects the last couple of weeks. Despite the fact that being sick sucks; I certainly got a decent amount of knitting done.
I'm almost done my Cherie Amour by Ashley Adams Moncrief. Designed for Knitty: Fall 2007.
I had a lot of trouble lining up the lace once the decreasing started. I eventually decided to not worry about it. It really isn't all that noticeable that it doesn't all line up perfectly.
All that is left is the sewing (ugh) and some edging. Not bad. If I can force myself to get to the sewing that is.
My Corsica is on hold for now.
I really need to get to my Christmas knitting. I leave for Vernon on the 20th or 21st. Yikes! I do this to myself every year. What I need is a copy of The Knitter's Guide to Life, the Universe, and Everything with the words "DON'T PANIC" printed on it in large friendly letters; a largish skein of cashmere from my favorite LYS (1); and a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster (2) to forget life, the universe, and everything.
**For those of you who are not familiar with "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy":
(1) A largish skein of cashmere has a similar effect on the psychological well being of knitters as a largish towel from Marks and Spencer on interstellar hitchhikers.
(2) The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is the best drink in (non)existence. It's effect is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.
Stay tuned for more Christmas knitting adventures. Coming to a blog post near you.
