Lots of Knitting
Not a lot of progress. Because
sandwiched between the knitting was some frogging.

I don't know where I was mentally when
I knit the last 2 rounds that finished the set of left leaning
diamonds, but it certainly was not any where my knitting. As I
started the next round –what I found was error, after error, after
compound error—that is, a mistake I made 4 rounds previously, and
had just continued! (Looking again at Wednesday's post and I see a half dozen errors alone in the photo!)
I am back on track now.. and the cowl
is 9.5 inches long, and I am going for 11. I decided I wanted it
long enough to wear as a hood –in which case it needs to be long
enough to tuck into a jacket collar in back) or resting on my
shoulders, and half covering my face (loosely!)--A double duty bit of
knitting.
But I don't want to push it—and run
out of yarn, and have to frog back (again!)
I want to finish it up today—and
maybe I will.
This morning I made a quick little
video on Interlocking Jacquard Double Knitting—which is what this
cowl is. I figured it out on my own, (it took a couple of tries) but
now days, the video tutorials are the way to go. One picture really is
worth a thousand words!
Thankfully, this winter has been so
mild, I haven't needed anything like this. There have been a few
cold days, and a few snow days—One is coming tomorrow. But today
is above freezing, and the snow will be mixed with rain. And here in
NYC, it promises to be a mostly rain event.
Tomorrow will also be the Girls (the
twin girls) birthday party.. so I will be out and about. But I have
umbrellas galore.
