delicate knitting
I started my River stole today. I'm 20 rows in, only 220 rows left!!! I'm knitting it with size 9 needles instead of the recommended 10 1/2 US. I like the fabric it's producing, yet it's still wider than the pattern says, which makes no sense. But whatever. Wider is fine, as long as I can finish it with 2 balls of yarn.
The Kidsilk Haze is really nice... It's like knitting with a fuzzy piece of thread, however. I'm on pins and needles knitting it, I really have to concentrate, I can't believe I actually knitted 20 rows of this correctly, during the day, with the kids around. I'm not going to try that again, I just can't risk getting interrupted and fucking it all up, and I *do* get interrupted. Frequently. But it's a really easy pattern, and a good one for my first lace project.
I measured out the endless bag to plot the lining size and I'm thinking I don't have enough interfacing. Sucks. The store isn't open on Sunday until next weekend so I'm shit out of luck until Monday if I'm short.
