Sweater Project

. . . finally. I actually reserved the UHaul truck to carry stuff* to my new home.

Have I mentioned that I *hate* moving? I rate it below having a tarantula crawl up my arm. Of course that’s not really fair, since I had a pet tarantula for a while as a kid, but you get the point.

I’ve been throwing away crap I don’t need and moving what I do need out of the path of The Big Stuff so that in a couple of hours, Mike and I can take it all over to his place. And now as a brief moment of zen in the midst of this turmoil (and because I’ll need to power down the computer in a minute), here’s what I was working on yesterday in my knitting time.

A co-worker had a pair of knit gloves that had lost the tip of one of the thumbs. She asked me if I could patch them for her and I said sure. She never said that it had to match. The girls at the Yarn Barn yesterday had a lot of fun with this, suggesting that I try to find some yarn that clashed more. Another good idea was to do a ring on one of the fingers, either by cutting and grafting or by duplicate stitch. In the end, I figured just the thumb was enough.

Ripping back and getting the needles in:

Progress at the Yarn Barn:

Finished product!

sigh . . . makes me long for cool weather.
