dancing, more mitten, week's projects
Oct. 22nd, 2007 07:05 amI had such a trying day yesterday. I had to drive out to small-town Wisconsin for a dance group photo shoot. Basically we spent about 4 hours dancing while the photographer took photos and video. We had to pose for about a zillion still photos as well. I was exhausted by the end. I'm still pretty tired.
I've been working on my pink mitten! I've reached the end of the thumb gusset and put the thumb stitches on a holder, and I've continued about another inch up the hand. I learned a new increase while I was doing the thumb gusset, yay! I was a little nervous and confused about the part where the stitches go on the holder, I wasn't quite sure where/how to re-join the hand stitches, but by the time I got there, it made sense. I think I might try to take a photo of it today.
Friday I finished two pairs of new flannel jammies (spaceships!) for the man and myself. Other than that and knitting, I've been making lists (I'm very good at that, not that I actually do the things I write down). Hopefully this week I can make the few new winter skirts I bought fabric for, complete the half-done pinstripe vest for the HB, do a little mending, and tie up some loose ends on a couple almost-done projects.
