\nThe Not Pink Puzzle Wrap is off the needles. At last. According to Ravelry, I cast on for it on October 25. And then it sat. And sat, and sat. Until I pulled my finger out and worked on it monogamously. Then it actually went pretty quickly. All it needs now is a bath and a stretching and it’s done.
\nSo I decided that I needed a quick project. Something easy that I could do while on the train yesterday and at the Knitters’ Guild AGM. Which was kind of funny, and also kind of sad. They’re resisting change, and I guess I can understand that. But they’re committing a very slow suicide. If the Guild continues the way it is, there will be no Guild eventually. They can’t see it. They have the attitude of “It’s worked for 23 years, it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” It might not be broken, but it’s worn out and needs to be updated. I’m starting to doubt that it can happen, though.
\nSo back on point, I cast on for Kim Hargreaves “Robin”<\/a>, from the Thrown Together collection. Emily spotted it months ago, and has been asking for it on a fairly regular basis ever since. It looked easy enough, and I thought a hat would be a nice, quick, easy project. Nice, easy, yes.
\nQuick, not so much.

\nI started it, and did most of the ribbing (on 2mm needles) on Friday night. I worked on it on the train to and from the city (about two hours) I knit it all through the AGM. I worked on it for several hours last night. And there’s still miles of it to go. Right now, it’s gt around 240 stitches on the needles, and I’m just knitting around and around.
\nI think all hats will be bulky yarn from now on.
\nOn Friday a parcel arrived that contained bubble wrap. I dropped the bubble wrap, and before I could pick it up, Twinkie found it.

\nShe had great fun, popping bubbles with her teeth. Bubble wrap, fun for all the family!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
