I’ve had a fear of colorwork since I started knitting. It’s not that anything seemed hard, it’s just that I’ve always been more of a solid color person. Guess it just takes finding the right piece, or maybe I’ve accepted the fact that patterns are cool…
Just like bow ties and fezes
Got all but one skein steamed this morning. Hopefully the straggling one will come in today. I really should learn to count to two properly at some point, especially when ordering yarn skeins.
I’m working on a couple knitting projects at the moment. I’m not showing pics because I’m lazy and I knit too slow to show any progress really. One of the pieces is a little girl dress and it’s pretty straight forward stocking stitch, so a big plain square twice with sleeves.
Yesterday I sat down mid day and decided to crank out as much of the front as I could while watching a movie, and I made some decent progress. I also got around to dragging a bag of fiberfill stuff out of the closet and restuffing one of cushions on the sofa. This would have been a successful thing, but for one small catch.
Apparently by fluffing up the back cushion, I managed to slightly change the angle that I sit while knitting. I’m one of those people that curls up with my feet under me and leans into the corner of the sofa. Leaning against my left arm for a good couple of hours and doing a very monotonous repetitive hand motion has left me with knitters elbow. Don’t ask, it is what it is. I have a semi numb tingling pinky and a stiff elbow.
It’s just me that does this stuff isn’t it?
