I got to take a personal day at work so went to sit and knit with the 'Thursday Group' that I never get to see. Talk about sensory overload ~ so much chatter and needles flying and projects to see ~ how can I be this tired from just sitting for 4 hours?? I need a nap!
Jo & Zoe got to go and hang out with us at
WildFibers:
Is it just me or does Zoe look stoned when she's sitting next to Jo? Between the outrageous locks and the buggy button eyes.....I think some changes are in store. Thoughts???
I cast on
Kate Davies' 'Peerie Flooers' while I was there ~ 4 hours and only 7 rows done. Geesh ~ I just can't knit any faster, especially with colorwork. It's hopeless ~ or I am! It's so pretty so far, even just the little bit I've done:
And if you're intrigued by what's underneath my knitting, let's pan out just a bit:
The word had gotten out that I was going to make an appearance today and Linda (THANKS!!!) remembered that I had wanted to borrow her Herbert Niebling books and a few German lace knitting magazines. Pages and pages and pages of inspiration. Linda, I will try very hard not to drool all over them!

Seven rows done while talking is a lot of knitting in my book :) Looks great!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't change a thing, she looks adorable! Sounds like a heavenly day for certain:) Can't wait to see what you find in the German lace magazines.
ReplyDeleteThe stranded work will go faster once you're past the corrugated ribbing- that stuff is slow, no matter how fast you knit.
ReplyDeleteI love the dolls!
ok ~ for now Zoe will be happy with who she is and remain crazy-tressed and blueberry pie-eyed!
ReplyDeleteKathleen ~ I am so glad you commented ~ you made me feel better about my sluggish pace! I've only done one fair isle project to date (I saw that you made the same black and white skull cap ~ aaargh!) and I feel like this hat is going to kick my butt! I needed the encouragement ;)
I wish you were closer so I could benefit from your expertise!
