because knitting on size 35 needles, while it produces very quick and large results, is kind of obnoxious. I forgot how frustrating it is to move those damn clunkers around. Alas, I finished only one square before losing my patience and putting up the uber-project for who knows how long again.
Went back to MPC, but the other night's lesson of no lace knitting during football stands true, and I had to put it down after three rows.
By the way, the new issue of Knitty is up! How exciting...and it appears that it's gotten a facelift! There are some beautiful patterns on it, and I'm going to have to stay away if I'm going to finish anything in time for Christmas.
Speaking of, I think the washcloth idea is a good one, but my pattern-a-day calendar has different ideas, as a bath mitt pattern came up yesterday. Perhaps that would be more appropriate, and a little more intriguing to knit than just squares. I've not yet attempted anything resembling a mitt, other than my wrist warmers for the desert. Those were just glorified ribbed tubes with holes for thumbs.
I've got to come up with something clever for the Fish. Perhaps some knitted toys, but I worry that they might be too young for him.
You know, I could probably Ravel and blog all day long, if I allowed myself too. But Spingo has other ideas for me...no way I'm going to get 250 calls/emails in this week at my current pace. Alas, I'll give it a go.
I did just figure out what to make Fish and M...I think I'll make them dino hoodies. Fish loves his beanie that I made him, and a dino hoodie might just be too much fun. I can make a simple top-down raglan, pick up stitches for a hood, and then add spikes.
Okay, I've spent a lot of time on this post now, between Ravelry and blogging, so I'm back to work now.
