Sticks and String

 After a few false starts I think I figured out how to pick up and knit a border onto the big pile of brown string.


 I've done this before several times but not enough that the process stuck. I think it's a go from here on. Fingers crossed.


The second Hap is growing. I am almost at the halfway point. It's my TV knit. I've got the pattern memorized. The color changes are making it fun. It's kind of ugly but fun. Remind me never to dye anything ever again.




I haven't stalled on the Arrow mitts. I just have been adding only two rows at a sitting. That's what I do when I want to put something in time out but I feel too guilty. I like them. I just am over cold weather projects at the moment.



Speaking of cold weather projects, since this is going to be the summer of UFO rescues, this giant thing came back out into the light of day to hopefully be finished. It's now my bedtime knit. Me, it and the Gilmore Girls until the wee hours. My favorite time of day.
