Yesterday we closed on the house – it went very smoothly. Then we helped move a few things over and continued today – moving the smaller, fragile, essential items over to their new house. We will move out of the apartment at the end of May – sure enough it will be here soon! I’m still getting in as much knitting as I can, but have to be careful – Dan commented tonight that I’m not finishing projects!!
See, I have to do some thinking for the rebecca wrap – to make sure I do the right / left fronts properly. I think I can just follow the directions as written… but it needs thinking. And the broadripple has to be completely undone and will wait for some other pattern – the cuff opening just doesn’t fit my foot. And the heart sachet also requires thinking.
So what’s a gal to do while watching a “non-thinking” movie (Monty Python Holy Grail)? Cast-on and start knitty’s x-back ribbon tank. I really enjoy working with the deco-ribbon – it’s lightweight and works up well.
In bummer news I think I’m 3 balls short of Filatura Di Crosa “Elena” that I’ll need for the web / online shrug from Interweave Knits. I bought 3 balls, but didn’t read the yardage requirements… eep.
Don’t you hate when that happens? I was a mere 1 skein short – so I had to order the needed quantity to ensure the dye lots matched. I used the original order for a hat, so it all worked out.Good luck!
Congrats on the closing, that’s great news! And it’s great that you guys have the whole month to move out of your apartment.
