Ahhh, that's better

There was knitting!  Lots and lots of lovely knitting.

And plenty of length on the sides to tie it with.

And not too long in the back

Ok, that was just to flash the way the gradients of colour worked.  Utterly unsophisticated, folksy perhaps, yet mathematically pleasing.  I love it.  I had really hoped to bind off in the cream, but there simply wasn't enough.  I would have been about 1/3 of the edge short.  It's OK with the charcoal and it is done.  

I was chilly while sewing in the few ends, so I tossed it on.  It has not been off me yet and may go to bed with me tonight.  This is one very cozy wrap.  

Which makes me wonder, why in heavens name did we stop wearing them?

Gratuitous 4th shot :p

There was knitting

Really there was.  Despite the weeks up and downs and goofy glasses, there has been knitting.

See the last half of this toe?  Yup.  there has been knitting.

Some days are going to be like that.  I've had only 1 lunch where I had a chance to sit and knit.  The quest for glasses is getting in the way.  

And there has not been a whole lot more at home either.  One of those weeks.  Last night would have been the night to knit a ton, but I called my sister and talked to her on the phone for 157 minutes.  (It seems my phone tracks the length of calls.  I've never noticed that before and I am never going to notice it again.)

So tonight being Friday, I plan to sit and knit and during this weekend, I will finish my shawl and move on to the sweater.  With only a few long rows it should be possible. 

And work on a sock.  And knit a little with some silk. And make a hat for wearing in the hot tub... 

I'm right where I think I am, I just don't know when.

I'm sorry about not writing this morning.  Or was it last night.  Or maybe it should be the night before...No wonder I thought today was Tuesday!  I have no idea when I am.

There has been 0, that is a big fat 0 of knitting so far this week.  Well, there were 3 ridges of 16 stitches per row for the toe of a sock.  And no Knitting was finished in January.  

Well I am going to shoot for February.  Fabruary is going to be a bneer month, right?  (Obviously, there hasn't been any spell checking in January either)  Bebruary is going to be a better month. (Oh I give up)

Right.

I have to work on Son2's sweater next.  I want to get it done so that he can wear it when he needs to get just a little bit spiffy.  I'm going to swatch on size 5 needles and see what happens.  I think that will be a better feel for what seems to be my tighter knitting when I am knitting in the round or with a lot of weight.  

So here is to sweaters and finishing.  Those are my February goals.
