Finally Talking About Knit Happens
Yes, Virginia, Wendy really did knit Inishmore in 9 days.
And Kristine really did try to steal Wendy's cormo. See?
And, surprise, surprise, people took my photo and actually posted it to the internet! (I'm not posting it here, but maybe you found it...)
And I'm sure you're not surprised at all to hear that I started something in plain one-color stockinette. OK, so it's a sleeve of a kiddy sweater, and I'm now almost done with the second one, and the front is a complicated garter stitch patchworky craziness, but it's going to be fun and it's in Blue Sky Cotton which rocks. And of course I had to buy 5 skeins of the most beautiful Koigu which I will eventually get around to photographing. And I will probably turn into some sort of a man-scarf. And I bought yarn to knit up an actually teddy bear. And I even managed to get it all to fit in the suitcase for the trip home!
And, to make it even better, I got to watch Phyl-Phyl knit something orange!
