Quick update

Filed under: On Needles — Cyndi at 6:54 am on Tuesday, June 20, 2006

Knitting has been sparse in these early days of summer. I’m about half done with the “little flowers” section of the Estonian Garden Wrap. No pictures today though, because it looks an awful lot like the last picture I posted, plus just about 50% longer. The repetitiveness of the pattern is driving me crazy. At this point, I think I could probably knit it with my eyes closed, as long as I knew what row I was on. Which is good, I suppose - when I actually sit down to knit, I can really make good progress. But, it is boring, and I don’t do well with boring. I need some excitement. Patterning on both sides, nupps, variations in the pattern! I am really looking forward to finishing the middle section and moving on to the borders.

But, it’s going to be a while. We’re off to ND on Thursday for my sister’s wedding, and I’ve been so busy at work lately that my flight time and any spare time while we’re there is likely to be taken up with work, rather than knitting. I’ll bring the knitting just in case, but don’t anticipate I’ll get much done.

The next few weekends don’t look any more promising - 4th of July will be spent on the lake, then another out of town wedding, and a boating/camping trip. All good and fun, but I think my couch is getting a bit lonely!

Summer definitely has a way of getting away from us. I’m glad the shawl is coming along, even if it’s boring you. Have a great time at your sister’s wedding. I can’t wait to see some pictures.

Sometimes I wonder how it is summer always seems to go insane. Have a great time at the wedding though, and an even better time on the lake!
