Ending the week

More progress. I am past the front neck decreases and have done the steek for the back + four more rows. Should be doing steeks and shoulder bind offs tomorrow, then on to sleeves on Sunday, unless I get too distracted by socks and all the things that need to be done around the house. I have pretty much decided that I am going to do the sleeves from the top down with a provisional cast on so that I can make a facing to sew down over the top of the steek. If anyone has not done this, or wants a play-by-play please let me know. I can take pictures as I go and post them in a summary.

Leaving the street behind, a garden waits along the path to a neighbor’s home.

The day is now dark, the house quiet. Only waiting for the DH to call from the Bahnhof. His London flight was late enough getting in that he was 4 minutes too late to catch the planned train. This time, of course, the Bahn was on time rather than experiencing delays. Now, they are deliberately changing the times because of the strike and he will not be in until after midnight. Figures.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!

    I would love to see photo’s of that process – my yarn is winding it’s way to me and I really have no idea what I’m doing as far as steeks! Thanks so much!

    A facing for the armholde steeks sounds great! I have not much experience with steeks, and I always made double neck nabds and button bands for my cardigans. But I didn´t know what to do with the armhole steeks. So some photos would be much appreciated, thank you very much!
