No pics today, nothing has made that much progress. Next time.
Elfin Lace Shawl
I'm 2 repeats further into the Elfin Lace Shawl. I've finally gotten to the point where I don't have to look at the pattern anymore, which is helpful. I'm getting about 1 repeat done during each 50 minute long lesson, which is good progress for me.
Smooch
I've ripped it out again. I had tried using slip 2k, k2tog (however that decrease is abbreivated), and I didn't like the way it looked. I tried slipping the first stitch as if to purl, and didn't like that either. So... away it went. I'm going to try it as written next... yeah, its got a raised edge. Maybe I'll like it ;) It didn't help either that in the last pattern row I had completed I had missed at least 2 yo's. So, I'm starting over yet again. I'm considering knitting the bottom in the round, dividing for the neckline and then the armholes... Has anyone out there tried that?
And, I'm now part of the official
Other Stuff
Its been stormy here. Tuesday night was a wild weather night. I was doing my storm-reveleing (I love thunderstorms!), and watching Letterman when the wind picked up. I figured this would be a good time to grab a flashlight. Flashlight in hand, I was standing watching the weather dude start his breaking-weather-news spiel, when all the power went out. TIMING! I went hunting a radio to find out what he was going to say... I found many radios - none with functional batteries. After finding the 4th, the wind died down, so I finished the row I had been working on (by flashlight) and headed off to bed. To be woken up by the power coming back on at 2am, and off, and on and off. Finally stayed on around 3.
I now have a positive slew of batteries for my radios - I'm set for the next storm!
