Today I am yarning along via my iPhone app that I just got. I hope it works!
This week I've been working really hard on my Color Affection. It's going well, especially now that I have the extra yarn I needed.
My book is Katherine Grubb's The Truth About the Sky. I am thrilled to have it on my Kindle and read while I knit. Now, the only reason I can do that is because the color affection is just knitting. After you have knitted thousands and thousands of stitches that are identical, you really don't need to look at what you're doing anymore. And the rows on this shawl are so long that the project would be extremely boring if all I did was knit and pay attention to the knitting.
I can't wait to be finished with this project! My shawl would be perfect for today's 30° weather. Can you believe how cold it is still? This is truly the winter that will never end.
us, too....had to cover the outdoor plants...still not convinced they didn't get nipped. IT'S APRIL!!! C'mon!!!
ReplyDeleteNot just April....but MID-April! This is really ridiculous. But at least I'm not a gardener. ;-)
DeleteLovely colours of yarn for that shawl. This changeable climate is getting to be a real problem all over the world.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Climate Change is definitely a theme, isn't it?
DeleteLove your shawl. It WOULD be great for a day like today. We had lows in the 20s overnight but it's supposed to warm up to 50 today. It's not unusual for us to have this weather in Ohio, but I worry about all the little buds that got tricked into thinking winter was really over!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you can knit and read. That would give me vertigo! How do you know you have the needle in the right loop?
The weather is definitely a bit unusual for down here, but we did have a hard freeze 4 or 5 Easters ago. I don't remember how late that Easter was, though.
DeleteI think part of the reason that I can knit without looking constantly is that I don't move my hands from the needles. The right hand which "throws" the yarn doesn't leave the needle, only the finger holding the yarn moves. That way I can the stitch-placement is consistent. Make sense?
