I know I've mumbled things about knitting lately, but my camera and I have been remiss in taking pictures, and I've not really shown you much progress. It's time to fess up.
So.. because I'm so thrilled to be talking about KNITTING instead of, for example, today's excursion with Bookworm to play in the Allergist's office, I just had to start with the art shot.
Tee hee. That, my friends, is the back of the Must Have Cardigan. The Divine Though Blogless Elizabeth gave me carte blanche to knit on it this past weekend (as we both sallied forth into the wilds of Chicagoland to observe our loved ones' graduation ceremonies), and I had several hours of sitting in the car in which to make progress. I had almost reached the beginning of the armholes when she fessed up to having gotten pretty much no knitting done in HER graduation observation adventures... I've come to a screeching halt here.
Having been banned from Must Have, I seem to have returned to Chrysopolis. You may remember this shawl from last year. (Is it really only one year?). Anyway, I've finally knit through the fifty rows I'd frogged, and beyond them.
And for a thrilling moment in lace.. I've actually passed the half way mark!!
Let's take a closer look here... Yep, you can almost see three horizontal lines of yo's. The middle one is the center of the shawl. (Sorry for the flash pic, but that's the only one that shows the lace in it's unblocked glory).
And because I now look like I knit in nothing but blue...
The Jitterbug Kahuna socks looking all matchy matchy despite being knit from opposoite ends of the ball. (okay, so they're blue too, but there are rainbows there... see... that's not blue....)
I was just sure they'd be reverse matchy... But this will do just fine, and no I'm not ripping back unless I find a REAL problem.
Time to dash... doctors hate to be kept waiting. They'd much rather we wait, yes?






*snickers* You haven't had a sudden craving for Blue Moon (http://www.bluemoonbrewingcompany.com/) or blueberries have you? No odd addictions to blue raspberry lollipops or anything? If necessary, at some point we can go out and sample blue curacao.
Great, now I've got the song "Blue Moon" stuck in my own head. *grumbles*

Oh, I Must Do the Must Have Cardi! It's calling my name. Yours is coming along nicely.

I waited for 2 1/2 hours to be seen in a doctor's office today. Then ended up being there another HOUR on top of that.
Yeah. My knitting? I accidentally left it at home. *head desk*
