Aargh!
\nI took some knitting pics at 9am this morning. It’s now 11pm, and I’m only just getting around to blogging. That’s what life seems to be like lately. I used to blog every day, lately I don’t get the time to blog, and I don’t seem to get time to do anything worth blogging about anyway!
\nBut now to catch up.
\nStitch ‘n Bitch<\/a> was on Saturday, but I didn’t get to go. Once again, Em had me tied up at a dance comp on the wrong side of Sydney. So, once again I took along the FCEK cardi. I need nice easy knitting that can be put down and picked up without any trouble. I was very glad I took the knitting along, as by the end of the day, the comp was running two hours late. We were back there again on Sunday.
\nEm did well again, and I finished the first cardi front.

\nMy first pocket! It’s a really nice easy knit, but I’m a little concerned about the yardage. The pattern calls for 9 balls of Cotton-Ease. I thought that sounded like a lot, but I had 4 balls from Lynette<\/a>, so I tracked down 5 more balls. They’re a different dyelot, but I’ve just been alternating balls, and it seems fine.
\nAfter knitting the back and one front, I have only used 2 balls. Somehow I don’t think I’ll need 7 more balls for another front, two sleeves and a collar! I have no idea how they came up with these yardage requirements.
\nI have also been working on the Mystery Shawl 2 final clue. It’s a knitted on edging, and it’s wide<\/i>. As Ailsa<\/a> noted in the comments, this is not going to be a quick clue. I’ve been working on it whenever I get a chance, and this is as far as I’ve gotten. Mind you, I haven’t had many chances to work on it!

\nI like the edging a lot, but it takes forever. It will make the shawl much wider, and I was beginning to wonder about the yardage for this project, too. Originally we were told we’d need around 1200 yards, but I haven’t finished the first 440 yard skein yet. I doubt I’ll use 1200 yards, but this edging seems to be using qute a bit of yarn.
\nI love Daylight Savings. Absolutely love it. But it knocks me flat for at least 2 weeks. And it takes me forever to get the hang of what time it is elsewhere in the world, and I still get confused with earlier\/later, clocks forward or back, and gaining an hour or losing an hour. But I love that extra hour of daylight.
\nHopefull ythings will slow down a little now, and I’ll have time to knit and stuff and have things to blog about.
\nAnd time to blog!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
