So I got through 7 more rows of Blue Cable-y Goodness this evening. And I finished another ball of yarn. One of the problems with Primo is that the balls are SO small... only 77 yards in one ball, which means that there are a lot of ends, at least for single color knitting. And the end of the ball I just finished? There was all of about three inches left at the end of the row. Can you say lucky? It's superwash, so spit-felt-splicing is not an option here.
Tudor Roses came in the mail today. This is a beautiful book. Even if I never knit up anything from it (though I may play with some of the patterns and my leftover yarn from the elephants and make a couple squares for Ann & Kay), I am really glad I own it. Katherine Howard just looks like the most insanely complicated design... and the fringe on the Tunic version of Katherine of Aragorn seems a little odd to me, but overall, there are some incredible designs in this book. I'm having fun just reading it.
And that's all for now.
