I think I mentioned that TDQ's workplace changed locations...while it adds 23 miles per day to our carpooling with TOB because of the route it actually gets us home between 8 and 12 minutes earlier each day.
Which might not sound like a lot, but, as any knitter knows those minutes stacked together can add up to a blanket, sweater, shawl or pair of socks before you know it.
But what I have done with those minutes? Thought about doing things and not actually done any of the things!
What things? You might ask...first questioned if anyone is listening or if I am just talking into the void. And if I am just talking into the void do I want to change that?
Second, if I want to change that...what would anyone be interested in?
A conversation that I had with one of my friends about garter tab starts to shawls, and her saying that newer knitters didn't like them because of "humpitis" could be one thing...seriously it is not the garter tab that causes the hump in many shawls, it's the increase rate and where the increases are placed that causes the problem! Or they are "hard to do"...I have a simple solution, a provisional cast on without waste yarn, just a single circular needle (which in most cases you will need due to the number of stitches in a shawl).
Pattern repeats that involve moving markers...this is more for the designers than the knitters...in many cases that can be avoided by changing where the pattern repeat happens...would anyone care about that?
Or books I am reading? I just finished This Poison Heart by Kaylnn Bayron and am anxiously awaiting the sequel...I wonder if my Angel's Trumpets are in her poison garden?
And while TDQ didn't notice..as a knitter the fact that it is set in Rhinebeck!?!?
Or real life stuff? Like what's for dinner? Veggie Kababs, thanks for asking!
I think that part of the reason blogging fell off my radar is...so much of it is putting on a good face when, let's face it, the world is on fire and none of us is really all right! Me no less than anyone else.
So let me know...am I just talking to myself (and a stalker or two...yeah I see you) or should I actually put relevant content here?
