Today I worked on 2 UFO’s. One was a charity scarf for and older child. Once the scarf is 60 inches long it will be done. That way it can be folded in half and worn in a stylish fashion. This should be done by the end of the weekend.
The other is a poncho knit in linen with lots of lace. I started it when Eric was in hospice. I have learned that there are 2 things in knitting that don’t go together, lace work and hospice. I finished the first side, it was something besides a rectangle that the pattern had called for. I had to Tink* the first half. Today I finally found my rhythm, it only took 2 years and a quite room. I almost finished 1 pattern repeat. A week or so of quite knitting time and it will be finished. *Tink is knitting backwards, in other words ripping out the 1st half.
I also have to say that the photos look great under the Ott light. They came out nice and crisp. Also my attempt to shrink the sweater was a total failure. It shrank about 8 inches in length and not enough in the width. I put it in charity. I am done with it.
