Wedge 10 is finished and 11 half done, and when the blanket is folded flat, it seems I will end up with a do-decagon (a 12 sided
polygon) after all. Wedge 11 and then some to be finished today, 12 and the
grafted seam for tomorrow.
Immediately after-- blanket
2.. A basket weave it is. Garter borders and giant squares of seed
stitch and stocking knit. It might end up being a rectangle rather
than a square... and blanket 3 will be a triangle.
First she'd like a matching sweater to
this one—knit by her grandmother for one of her cousins... I bought
the yarn yesterday, and we decided on the slightly darker oatmeal
color—since the cream didn't match perfectly. I looked for buttons too--but didn't find any I liked--and certainly nothing that match.
I was at
Joanne's with DD yesterday and we decided on the colors.. the
selection was limited. We chose the wrong day to go. The aisles of
the yarn corner were filled with boxes—and a harried (but still
pleasant) clerk was busy checking invoices and trying to organize
things--and getting ready to unpack.. It was hard to walk in the aisles and see anything with all
the boxes.. But still, I am not unhappy with what we found... Maybe
if they had a paler pink (we are both very fair) but I don't think
there is a paler pink.
Which reminds me... I placed a large
($75+tax & shipping) order to Lion Brand last week—and it
didn't come packed with their new catalog! How annoying. Well maybe
I'll find one in my mailbox this week.
I love my Nook, and reading books on
it. (and my reading list is growing fast than even I can read!) but
I don't like reading zines on the Nook. I read books in strict
linear way—I rarely skip ahead, and only occasionally go back-- but
magazines articles are always broken up, and have pages of ads to
skip—I tend to flip through a magazine—and it's just not as
comfortable on the nook. I don't know if the Lion Brand catalog is
available on line.. but even if it is—I want a lovely hard copy to
read and salivate over.
