In the past month we have been to three weddings, I have a new job and just as an example of the business yesterday we helped load the van for the company who runs our LARP (it is the main event of the season next week) and then had friends over for the evening. A day off is very welcome.
It is going to be an especially relaxing day for me as I dislocated and broke my little toe yesterday, so I am currently on the sofa with it elevated, and have been informed that I am to not move from this spot. Why yes, there are pain killers in my life, thank you for asking.
A full day of knitting sounds perfect to me, though there are some hiccups.
The shawl sample I am knitting for easyknits is one thing where there is a hiccup. The pattern is Orbit and it is my first attempt at a circular shawl. It is pretty, the yarn is lovely, and everything was going swimmingly. Until I thought to myself "gosh, there are quite a few rows to go, and not much yarn left". So I weighed the yarn and it came in at 11.4g, with more than ten 500+st rows to go.
I knit doggedly on (after having PMd the designer) and lo and behold, I have run out of yarn.
That is on hold while I wait for Jon to get back to me.
I think today may be a day for continuing to knit my Orchid Thief. With a fair wind, I may be able to get close to completion.
I am supposed to be knitting a water bottle carrier for the event next weekend. The pattern calls for cotton yarn and so I am double stranding dishcloth cotton with some leftover Rowan Tweed I had kicking around the stash. The truth of it is, though, that I hate knitting with dishcloth cotton, so I am disinclined to do anything to it.
Is having a broken and very sore foot an excuse for knitting exactly what I want instead of what I ought?
I would say that it does indeed qualify you to rearrange the knitting plan. ION: Ow! That there foot injury sounds rubbish. I hope the pain stops soon and that it heals quickly *hugs*
