WOUND KNIT

There's a few novel style books on knitting.  I would not have even guessed that a while ago.  McPhee, author's last name, writes in a journal like style.  The book knit lit is a triology of knitting novels including Knit the Season a Christmas themed plot.  So, recently I was at a knitting circle.  I had so much fun.  The last circle I went to was at least five years ago.  This one included LeAnn, Anna May, and Jane as well as the owner of The Knittery -- Kim.  The group seems to informally meet on Tuesday's as a drop in.  Also, Linda showed at 2pm.  The event coincided with a 5.0 richeter scale earthquake that lasted 30 seconds.  

Project details:   Success -- getting practice yarn worked.  Now I've moved forward to a Debbie Bliss project using Casmerino baby yarn in dusty rose pink.  The Alpabet blanket is one colour but a complex chart.  There is some frustration involved because I have gotten as far as row eleven and re-started 4 times.  Lol, that's why I like knitting.  No one hovers over my shoulder when I work on a project.  Of course, to facilitate the completion and quality I look for help, ask questions, and read the pattern ifrst making sure to take notes in my knitting journal.  This chart is a 10 x 10 stitch grid (100 stitches per square) and it's 237 rows and 187 stitches across.  Ya, biggest project so far!
