I felt powerless. Utterly powerless. The desire to start knitting the Indigo Ripples skirt out of spring Interweave knits took me over. I filled my knitting bag full of some Rowan Denim, which shrinks in length and fades just like jeans, and got started. Rowan, ah, Rowan, I love you! I love Linda Pratt too for sending us tons of charity Rowan yarn for the Va. Tech students to make squares for the blankets. Remember Linda? She used to own 'Great Yarns' in Durham, NC but sold it to a Royal B@#$% (Don't quote me) and went to work for Rowan.
Anyhow, the skirt is coming along famously with a few major exceptions.
I am a bit concerned about my increases, my M1R and M1L. One creates a hole, the other doesn't. Unless I'm doing something wrong I am unaware of, I can not imagine why on earth one would want holes on the sides of their skirt. But that is what seems to be happening here. Arn't there other ways to increase that don't cause holes? Yes! Oh, Hell, what difference does it really make, anyhow? It's not like I'll ever finish it and wear it (no snickers or applause from the peanut gallery, please!).
I sure do love this yarn though.
In unrelated life news, I've started reading the Harry Potter Book #6 (alittle late , I realize). I asked Loren how it was and all she said was "Whew, wow, yeah, pretty intense." That's all I needed to pique my interest. It's been years since I've read other Harry Potter's and I've forgotten how mind blowingly amazing they are. Captivating, really. I even pre-ordered #7 in my excitement!
