Sometimes the perils in pattern writing is the the letters and numbers dance around the page like a Conga line dances through a room. My current pattern fits this to an exact T as in T Square. Today I tried to figure out if I hit that magic sweet spot of pattern section repeats. I simply could not figure it out. So I will keep knitting and working the pattern out row by row. I just have to have things add up to my magic number and maintain the angles, it’s really not that hard until I can no longer walk, talk and knit at the same time. This sitting down to write patterns down is sometimes very hard work.
If I take this pattern row by row it is a very delightful knit. Just enough change from row to row to keep the pattern interesting. My student whom I am writing it for, loves the pattern so far. She is on section 2 around row 8. She likes the fact that after so few rows knit and purled stitches a pattern is visible. That makes me so happy. I am only 2 full sections ahead of her so I have to find more time to finish this.
In other news the bathroom is now painted. I just have to pull the tape off the grab bar. Give it a few days to dry. This is where a second shower is very helpful. Then put everything back where it belongs. Also just a few projects to go before craft room 1 is ready to become the guest room. My new storage containers for craft room 2 are somewhere in Phoenix. Hopefully they will arrive tomorrow, they were supposed to be here today, alas this is the season of shipping hiccups.
I also came up with an innovative way to put my shoes away. I slip on one pair and walk to my closet Take the shoes off and put them away. I repeated this process until all my shoes were put away while bring laundry from the clothes line to the closet’s. I got 2 chores done at once and added steps to boot.
I am hoping despite be sore all over, all day that I will sleep tonight. Wish me luck.
