Sweater Project

Another batch of throwies, ready for shipment:

These are destined for the AmpuT, who was so delighted with the previously-blogged about throwie adventure that she asked for some for her wheelchair. In exchange, she’s going to send me some Lorna’s Laces AND she promises not to beat me to death with her fake leg. (You do promise, right?)

You’ll notice that this batch has little pull tabs on them. Those are pieces of a cut up index card, inserted between one lead of the LED and the battery so that there’s no current. This way, the throwies don’t light up until AmpuT pulls the tab, hopefully extending their battery life by a couple of days.

I actually did a little knitting last weekend. I cranked out a few rows of boring-ass garter stitch for one of the baby hats. Maybe it’s the 90° heat we’ve been getting down here, but I just haven’t felt the knitting muse in me lately. I need to take a field trip up to Nova Scotia or something to get motivated again.
