Just a few things May 14, 2008
I don’t have much today. Just a few things. I’m too tired to think past that. Got up some time between 4:00 and 5:00, and slept poorly while I was in bed. Nearly got up at 1:00… It was amazing that I lasted in bed as long as I did. Let’s see. Oh yeah. Socks. Tilt. I started sock two yesterday evening. I didn’t exactly get a lot done, but it is started.

I got caught up on Canterbury Bells yesterday afternoon, plus one repeat. I would have gotten farther ahead, but at some time during the afternoon I was tinking back along the row (again), and dropped a stitch. Badly. I pulled the knitting off the needles, and frogged eight rows of lace. Eight rows. I carefully unzipped the next row while I put the newly freed stitches back on the needle. Then I straightened them all out so they were going the correct direction. Then I carefully, oh-so carefully tinked back one more row to make sure I had everything. I did. I think I actually managed to get passed that spot, and made a little more forward progress.
Sorry, no pics. For some reason I didn’t take any of Canterbury Bells when I was wandering around the house with the camera a little while ago. I did manage to get a picture of a cat sleeping on Kliban (of Cat fame) sheets that I’ve had for about a million years now. You know what? Those cats with red tennis shoes still crack me up.
Let’s see. What else? Oh yeah. I’m donating sock patterns as a prize to Summer of Socks this year. Whoever wins this prize will get a .pdf of all of the sock patterns I have for sale at that time.
Oh. And this. This is very cool. Lime & Violet chose my South Seas Stole pattern as their shawl of the week. Posted it yesterday. Thank you, ladies! Huge welcome to everyone who visits because of their link. Thank you, Kristie, for letting me know!
I think there was more, but I can’t think for the life of me of what it was.
Need more caffeine.

Yeurgh — not enough sleep is a bad thing. I hope the caffeine helps! And congratulations on the mention of your stole; it definitely deserves the notice

Well-deserved attention on the South Seas Stole! Congratulations. And kitty sleeping on Kliban cats? Priceless!

Thought of you yesterday when I stopped into my favorite local flower shop. They had a few pots of campanula for sale and I thought of canterberry bells as soon as I saw it.

Congratulations on the shawl! It’s beautiful.
Condolences on the lack of sleep. Been there, done that and it isn’t any fun.
Planning another Tilt in Claudia’s handpainted yarn - should be yummy if I can get it to not pool.
