I’ve been happily mitering along. This is the perfect take-along project. It is semi-mindless (except where I have to do my decreases, since sometimes I motor right past them!).Â
One of the big squares is done — it’s a lot of knitting, mes amies! It’s about 20×20 inches!
I also started the bottom sections. I could NOT wrap my brain around how the bottom was going to work, so I had to do it to see it. It makes total sense once you get going. I think it would have been helpful to have a diagram with the pattern for us “visual” learners!
It did not call for a provisional cast on, but I thought it would be nicer and I think it is.
RE: Sally’s brief visit in June. She will be here on June 14 and we are going to Panera’s in Plymouth for my weekly Knit Night. Come one, come all!!
I am still 10 rows away from where I was on the Peacock Shawl before I ripped, but I am enjoying it immensely.Â
And, please, will someone chip in to buy poor Lucy some underwear? It is a bit unseemly ;). They just moved our blog into the porn listings! And should I be concerned that my husband volunteered to shop for her knickers?
Â
On another note — thank goodness GA is back on track! Last week’s show was an embarrassing disaster. Shondra, what were you thinking? The lame California story line was only eclipsed by the stupidity and lack of reality of its characters. This week was pure gold.
Â
The bottom is just too weird though I guess it will all make sense when you put it together. Still loving the colours!
I blame you & Carrie K. for getting me hooked on Grey’s though last week’s episode, which I saw ~30 minutes of, cured that!

I really like the mitered bag pattern… I’ll have to remember to look for that next time I’m at the Yarnery. As for GA… that one episode you’re talking about was really part pilot for the upcoming spinoff. : )

From Susan — I know about the GA spin off — and I have nothing against spin offs per se — but this one is so incredibly stupid with such inane characters that it defies comprehension!

Okay my favorite knitting sisters, I need to pick your brain a bit….I have 3 lovely golden balls of Rowan’s kidsilk haze….I’d LOVE to do a shawl. What would be your recommendations?
I’d love to come knit with you girls in June but don’t think the Hubman would go for the roundtrip airfare…he might treat if I buy a one-way ticket! 🙂 Happy Mother’s Day ladies.

I think it would be a great social experiment to let your hubby go out and get the
undies for your dummy- just to see what he comes back with.
Happy Mother’s Day to you both.

Michelle — what’s the color number? (I ask b/c I knit a sweater using gold coloured kidsilk haze held with something else and I have some left over which you would be welcome to. I have no idea how much. Might only be a ball.) Have you knit Icarus? I think that might only take 3-4. I’d have to go back and look at the directions. A moebius, like the one I made in pale pink, only takes two.

The “lame California storyline” of last week’s Gray’s Anatomy is a prelude to a spin-off they’re creating about Addison. However, I’m guessing the spin-off is going to tank, because everyone knows we all watch the original because of McDreamy. Of course, Tim Daly is easy on the eyes, too….

🙂 I am going to go with Icarus.. Coincidentally the Loopy Ewe just put the pattern up so I figure ~ it’s a sign.
I have 3 balls of kidsilk haze shade 578. I think I’ll be okay, if not when the time comes I’ll be sending out an s.o.s.
Happiest of Mother’s Day ladies!
