And now a word from my Knitting A.D.D.


Last week I woke up with my butt on fire to make my Sublime sweater. I have 3 "obligation knitting" projects on the needles, and more than one UFO lurking...but this morning I woke up thinking about someone who needs a prayer shawl. And so my 400 yards of green and plum two-ply singles were hustled to work at 6 a.m. along with the latest IWK. I cast on. I knit. This yarn is very sheepy, and my hands soften. This pattern isn't too hard, but because I get interupted a lot, I gave up on Icarus at noon, and started my good ole friend Kiri.

It's very pretty, but I have a sense of urgency.

Whoooh, Bets...this is spooky. That kiri I've been working on (for 796 years) is green and purple, maybe a more faded green with a light plum purple twisting through it. One of us is psychotic...er, I mean psychic. Mr. Bill

Sorry...I'm blog-paranoid! I have on my black cloak and dark glasses so that I can travel incognito!

Bets,

It's the perfect thing for Marge's "trip." I can assure you that she will love it and be very grateful to know you're thinking about her and made her a beautiful shawl. She'll feel the good vibes you send with it. Thoughtful and caring of you, Bets. You're getting stars in your crown.
