I managed three pattern repeats on the Hyacinth today. That is an increase of 60 stitches per row just today and I still have somewhere from 4-6 repeats (each 10 rows long) to go. I still want to find a shawl that is all decreases instead of increases. Then each row would feel like it was going faster rather than taking ever longer.
And I have to decide which of the UFOs I should tackle next.
It won’t be tomorrow – I am off to Gosport to a meeting. We are meeting up at 0600 in order to be there at 0800. I don’t have to drive, and perhaps I could even sleep. What I do know about this arrangement is that it gets me out of staying for the formal dinner as the four I am riding with are sensibly interested in getting back to Camberley to get some sleep before we turn around and do it again tomorrow.
Perhaps I can take pictures from the car window? Nah – I am not bringing a camera, it is not that kind of meeting.
Books et all
Listened to the first 15 episodes of Discovered Country by Nora Fleischer. It seems to be a time traveler/post holocaust type story and I still haven’t gotten the point so I switched to Mur Lafferty’s Playing for Keeps.
In hardcover, I just finished the latest Sookie Stackhouse.
Of this, of course, was between getting some work done and cruising other people’s blogs.
sounds like you have been busy holly! hmm, sookie stackhouse sounds familiar, may have to go google.
Is it really 0 deg C in Heidelberg? Or is the Wetter thingy broken? Pictures from cars don’t generally work out. Good decision. I hope my elk photos will crop. I think that’ll be the next blog topic.
Well, for a start your FOs are a whole lot more interesting than mine! However they are also a lot older!
I finished my Wicked II, so I can cross that one off.
You’ve been tagged for a meme. Do not lob knitting needles at me. You know you want to do this! OK, Maybe not. But it was fun. My first one.
