the postman knows best
Yesterday, I had a long list of things I needed to be doing. Groceries, resume tweaking.. the list was long. Abby and I were hard at work, and by 4pm, all we had left to do was bake a pie and do some knitting. For the whole nite. The pie turned out ok-- I went for the quickie ready-made pie crust made by Mr. Wegman, and wasn't thrilled with it. It cracked and crumbed when touched. The pie still tastes yummy. I used Cortlands from the farmer's market.
My yarn for the demi has still not arrived. If it had, I would have started on a sleeve, abandoning the ribbed jacket and ribben-edged cardigan. Mr. Postman does know best.
I made some progress on my ribbed jacket; all that's left is the large knitted on ribbed collar and front. The pattern is cleverly written. The whole jacket, with the exception of the ribbing, is knit in one big long funny shaped piece. The only seaming that happens are two very long seams that start at the wrists, go up the arms, then down the sides. Minimal seaming, minimal weaving in of ends. My kind of sweater.
After her initial photo shoot, Abby was more interested in playing with the camera than she was in posing for me. See her fly!

The ribbed jacket looks like its almost done! Maybe its good that the yarn didn't come so you could get that done first.
PS. I am not very far on Demi at all.. just in the middle of the first repeat on the sleeve. Can't say the same for SQ though!
