Prepping for the Weekend
Today is all about the upcoming weekend. I put my shopping list next to my
Petronius, so that I can jot anything down, that comes to mind. On sunday ette
is coming for a visit and we are going to do some super-secret knitting-stuff.
To be precise we are going to do two different super-secret knitting-stuff
things. And one of them is going to involve "Rainbow".
Maybe we are going to do some dyeing, since ette may want to try that and osti
will be gone to France :( by then and therefore won't complain :)
Mostly I hope until then I have the main part of "Big Blue" done. That is
because it has steeks and my very first ones. I may need ette to hold my hand
and mop my brow while cutting those. *scribbling down "white wine" on my
shopping list.* We may need that. (Or would you prefer eggnog, ette?) You'll
get a full report by next week.
Hopefully I'll get some of the odds and ends on those nearly done projects
from my last post finished. Seeing them written down motivated me to finish
them and getting them off my queue. Also I discovered some additional
half-forgotten projects and that list is about to become even longer:
- Another thrummed project: mittens in black for a friend of ette. For
those I have a decent excuse: the color of the thrums has not been decided
definitely by the recipient (ette: that is an not so subtle reminder to get
that data)
- A pair of fingerless gloves in orange with red beads. Number one is about
two thirds done, but I seem to have lost interest the moment it stopped being
so fricking cold in spring.
- The first square of a double-knit blanket with colorwork. I'm starting
to think it may take that one years and years to get finished.
Now I think I need an agenda for those odds and ends. Hmm. Thats very ette of
me :)
- knitting on "Blue Beast" till I'm getting to the point of cutting the
steeks
- new feet for "Cuddly and Sweet"
- finishing "Quack" and weaving in the ends
- starting the sewing part of "Rainbow"
- finally elongating the striped cotton sweater
Hmm, that looks like an weekend heavy on knitting :) And I'm thinking along
the lines of two kinds of cookies and visiting my parents, before osti is off
to France. I can picture how that ends: Next week we are going to see
eachother again and I'm going to have the exact same agenda :/
And now I'm going back to my books before someone (*glaring in a very specific
direction*) is going to scold me. I better add chocolate to my shopping
list...
