Hello everyone. I saw my surgeon again today. He proclaimed my foot “beautiful,” which is a sure sign that he must see some awfully ugly feet in his line of work. My stitches are out, though, and I am slowly on the mend.
I’ve been working on a new project, which I can’t describe in detail yet. Susan and I have been kicking around a sweater design for a few months and we decided this would be a good time to figure out whether or not it’s workable. Although not a “hard” pattern per se, it presents a few design challenges in trying to make what we envision a reality. Given that I have a lot of free time on my hands right now, I’m doing the bulk of the knitting while she works on some of the more technical design aspects and crunches the numbers. I did a lot of swatching right before my surgery, and I’ve now undertaken the test garment itself. So far, it seems to be working. Because we’re not sure what we’re going to do with this design (publish it here, submit it somewhere, or felt it into a bag if it’s a failure), we’re going to hold off on posting photos or explaining the design.
That’s why I haven’t been blogging much — I’m just not sure what to say!
I know — the progress of an invisible sweater is not very interesting. I plan to try to upload some photographs and descriptions of some of my other unfinished and in progress projects over the next few days.
