Must...Stay...Motivated
I've done a LOT of knitting this week. Last Tuesday, I finished up my twisted flower socks while I was knitting with the girls. I really think they are just lovely. What do you think?
That night, I immediately cast on my Dickinson Pullover. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I knit with anything bigger than a 3, so suddenly 9's felt huge and awkward, but I've adjusted. I started with the back, and I'm already at the arm decreases, so I think good progress is being made. The only thing is, I'm already getting bred with the never ending cables. But I'm not going to stop! I'm going to keep stitching my way to a sweater. I've even been taking it to work and knitting during breaks in my training. A number of people are really impressed with it and with knitting in general. Don't you love the way two sticks and string are suddenly "magical"?
On the spinning front, I received a new batt and tussah silk from Abby's Fiber Club. I think I'm going to spin the batt and silk separately and then ply together. I'm not really sure what I'm going to make out of it yet, but I know I'll come up with something!
