off flight knitting wednesday 08.09.2006



as of 03 august 2006


that's the red sweater i cast on shortly before leaving for minnesota. i made decent progress despite the heat wave. i forgot about air conditioning. plus, i had help.




while waiting to watch wheel of fortune with grandpa, jg decided to help me knit. i held his hands for the first stitch and then he proceeded like a regular, albeit very slowly.



intense toe curling concentration


this is actually the second time jg has helped me knit. the first time, months ago, it took him nearly an hour to knit three stitches. steep learning curve. this time it only took him minutes to knit twelve.



mom watches on


jg's mom was impressed by jg's effort but concerned, even more so than i was. why? because she is the intended recipient. yes, someone who actually wants to wear my sweater. yay!



you won't undo my stitches, will you?

red sweater at 90%


that's the progress as of this morning. please pardon the odd layout; i couldn't find one single well lit surface in the entire house except for that chair. anyway, not much left to knit. another two inches of hem ribbing before i send it to indianapolis. no blocking.

last week at java station:



susie with sour cream chocolate chip bundt cake
baked just hours before knit group



erin with caravel ice cream cake


two cakes: one for birthday, one for farewell, both for erin. it was a fun evening until i worked myself in a foul mood.

i've been watching the zimmermann videos again hoping to get an idea of what to knit next. it's been a long time since i last played these tapes, two years or so. i just realized how much of my language is influenced by ez. my knitting habits, too. i'd be a worthless knitter today if it wasn't for zimmermann.

here's something i bet zimmermann would appreciate.
