slow knitter
Apr. 25th, 2009 04:41 pmI keep putting off making my first entry, out of some notion that I should say something worthy of being the first entry. I hereby stop this.
I have finished the first sock of the yarn that looked humdrum blue in the ball, but is gorgeous blue/blue-gray/blue-green when knit up. (Fortissima Colori 9098) The sock is very well-shaped when I wear it, but has the usual bizarre shaping when it's not on. Also, given that I cast on for the last time (several false starts) on 3/2, it was a fast knit for me. There are many reasons why I would not do well in pre-Industrial times, including my slow handwork.
