theraineysisters knitting and so much more

Yes, it’s birthday time!  Surly is celebrating a birthday today.  I hope she remembers that I sent her an early gift!!

Surly has embarked on several exciting journeys this year, some planned and some unplanned.  She weathered them all.  On her bucket list was seeing polar bears and whales.

She took this picture on a recent adventure.  Stay young, little sister!!  And see you in a few weeks!

PS to Lois regarding the Roslin Hoodie.  Yes, there is an error on the size small hood.  After the increases, there should be a total of 93 sts, not 83.  Thanks for letting us know!

I am twisted both inside and out.  Everything is uncertain.  Animal Farm + 1984 + The Handmaid’s Tale = today in a nutshell.  What will our children say?  What did we do to stop it?  I have no answer.

But, speaking of children, my daughter has a birthday coming up so I knit her these: Entangled Boot Cuffs designed by Apiary Knits.  The pattern is not new, but was new to me.  They are knit in worsted weight yarn with several size options.  The pattern is very well-written and the cuffs can be worn in a variety of ways.

I lightly felted the cuffs as I thought they might be too big (should have either made a smaller size or used a smaller needle).  I will probably knit a pair for myself!!

PS to Ingrid: I’m sure Australians are much smarter than most Americans.
