Ugh
The heat…the heat…the humidity…the heat. My poor little window air conditioner is barely making a dent in it.
The thought of touching wool today is not appealing, so my brother’s sweater goes off to the side until the heatwave breaks. I haven’t cast back on for my mother’s sweater body yet after the gauge fiasco of the other day. I’ll probably do that tomorrow.
Today is for the tank I promised myself. I cast on for it and did a seed stitch hem (LOVE seed stitch) last night and am now all set to dive into the waist shaping. I’m doing it in black Cotton-Ease, which knits up fairly quickly, so I’m hoping to have a new tank to wear in a week or so. It was a long week of work and deadlines, so I’m looking forward to just sitting in front of the AC and knitting today.
Oh–and today is Alicia’s 30th birthday. She’ll get that red tank I made for her at her party tonight.
Cari,
I just got my gift certificate from ThreadBear. Thank you so much!!! You are a doll! I’m going to check their inventory this evening for patterns and yarn.
Eeek! I’m so excited!
And, just so I throw in something relevant to your blog, I agree that seed stitch is good stuff. That and moss. Nice, simple textures.
