Curiously Intertwined

Wednesday, December 14, 2022

I'm making use of some random things from around the house

and things that never made it back to the attic

for a little more Christmas decoration.

We've got company coming tomorrow so it's time to break out the phone

and check my "Chalk the Chalk" board on Pinterest.

I found a couple designs to combine and duplicate.

I have neither the time nor energy to think of anything on my own right now.

"Tut-tut, it looks like rain."

Little E left me a note telling me how to do the ribbing on this sweater.

It looks like I'm about halfway there.

It took me about 12 minutes to do one round tonight.

If my calculations are correct, I could finish this re-do in about two hours.

I wonder how many days it will take me to sit down for two hours and knit.

Kitchen shenanigans.

When Little E was here

she agreed that the sweater she knit for Fireball is a little too long.

We decided upon the desired length and she tore it back

and got it all set up for me to re-knit the ribbing.

The needle we found for this job is slowing me down

as it is grabbing the yarn and not letting it slide nicely.

I found a new needle and knit the next round onto it.

Things are going much smoother and faster now.

Now that the green socks are done and before I start another pair of socks,

I wanted to knit up a quick cowl.

I have a super cute pattern and some left over yarn from a hat I made for Fireball.

Well, you guessed it. I can't remember where I stashed the yarn.

In the process of looking for it today, I came across a bag.

Inside the bag is a magazine dated Holiday 2004

and all the yarn for a cute cardigan with cables,

that still seems stylish in 2022, that appears in the magazine.

Obviously, I have started swatching for the sweater.

I'll have to make the cowl when the yarn for that project reappears.
