Today is Friday and I am glad I’ll have another weekend to spend knitting on my Sunrise jacket. I’d love to wrap that one up. I’m done with the main part of the second sleeve and will start the circle today. It is semi-mindless knitting, but I spent far too much time counting sts on the first side. I am going to place markers where the increases go so I just count once. Honestly, I think it will take me half the time if all I do is knit instead of count.Â
I finally took a few minutes to read through the book I bought at the last knitters guild meeting when Kari Cornell was the guest speaker. It is a very fun read.
There are a lot of pictures and stories from a variety of sources — many vintage knitting patterns and books, famous knitters, etc. It is truly a hodge podge, but that’s okay. It is worth a look. She said she is working on a book of vintage patterns because so many people who read this book were interested. Count me in! It’s due out in fall of 2007 (that seems like a long way off).
