I haven’t had a chance to take any pictures lately, but Jaywalker #1 fits very well, and this morning I finished the heel flap on Jaywalker #2. I still haven’t really got the hang of picking up stitches, so I’m setting my goals low, and hoping to get that done tonight.
My picking up doesn’t look messy or anything, but I’m fiddling with a crochet hook and all the needles and counting and recounting and spacing and it just takes ages.
Finished Knitwear update: I have somehow managed to lose my Edgar scarf which makes me very sad. What makes me sadder is that I found it very very hard to remember what I did the weekend I lost it. When I came up with one option of where I left it I phoned and talked to the least helpful guy ever. Describing that scarf, I said it was hand-knit, green and blue, and pointy. When ‘pointy’ confused him I said it was like overlapping squares.
He said he thought he had it, because it was definitely handknit, teal, and it’s not like it has tassels or anything.
I’m also cross with myself for forgetting it. I used to think ‘Jeez, how can you forget your purse/scarf/gloves anywhere? How can you not notice that it’s gone?’. I have stopped thinking that, as I have now lost a scarf. And last weekend, I went to Calgary (on a long weekend, no less!) with no wallet. Because I am stupid silly.
I just need to finish these socks. Then I need to get on to something else. With big yarn! And some more lace, for the Amazing Lace. Unfortunately, as I’m not buying yarn, my lace will be more socks. I’d like to try another scarf (I don’t think I’d use a shawl, although there are so many pretty patterns!) but that can come some other time.
