Ah, the speed, the power…my dsl is back and I’m a happy kid.
As promised, here’s a picture of the toddler sweater progress:
Here’s a close-up of the twisted ribbing.
I’m half done with the front now, which is the last piece before seaming and the neckband. The kid’s birthday is Friday. I won’t make it in time for that (I have to allow mailing-to-Austin time) but it won’t be nearly as late as I had feared.
We had a guest star at last night’s knitting group. Carolyn came by to work on Lil’ Beck and felt her Suki. No surprise–she’s very cool in person, and her knitting is gorgeous. Her Suki looks terrific too.
I also promised pics of my brother’s homecoming, but none of them came out well enough to share. Rainy days, digital cameras and teary-eyed family members with shaking hands make for crap photography. Ah well.
By the way, has everyone been following the internation rock-on symbol thing at Brainylady? Alison consistently makes my day. She’s brilliant. And we’re both tattooed vegetarians with boys named Bill. Small world and all that, hunh?
too kind!! 🙂
p.s. i generally keep my tattoos hidden. but remind me next time and i’ll show ya. 🙂

i wonder if your twisted rib is done the same convoluted way as the pattern i couldn’t figure out? we may have to have a quick lesson before i go!

Thanks, Cari! Man, I was away from computers for two days, and I come back to find a lovely compliment! Talk about making a person’s day.
