You may be wondering what happened to me — I know I haven’t blogged in *cough* a little while. Sorry about that. The problem is that I have nothing of particular interest to share in the knitting department. I’ve been a little preoccupied/busy with non-knitting issues, and the knitting that I have been doing isn’t necessarily blog-worthy.
I am motoring along nicely with the feather and fan shawl. It’s a wonderfully portable project because most of it is straight knitting. I am still using the Knit Pick interchangeable needles on it and I still like the needles. I have found that they will occasionally unscrew slightly and then the join gets a bit sticky. They easily screw back together nice and tightly. This seems to happen when the shawl is shoved into my bag and/or thrown around carelessly. When I’m not mistreating the shawl, the needles behave.
I’ve been swatching for various and sundry projects I might want to knit on, but have nothing of interest to report.
Oh! Last weekend, a group of former employees from the yarn store I used to work at got together for a few hours of knitting and conversation. (Thank you, Jennifer, for being such a lovely hostess.) It was great to catch up and see what everyone is knitting on; knitting is such a wonderful social activity. I don’t belong to a regular knitting group, unlike Susan, and I sometimes forget how nice knitting with friends can be.
