ProseKnitic – of Words und Wolle

I need daylight, good daylight in which to take pictures. Instead, what I watched out the window was rain the whole grey day.

It matched me hacking out my lungs. Again. This is getting really irritating as once more I have tender ribs. If I am still like this on Friday morning, I might even go in on sick call.

The solution for today was to call a friend and invite her to bring over soup for dinner (I provided the veggies and salad) and sit, knit, and chat.

Brage

No pattern – just the picture stolen from the Eau Claire exhibit of Knitting along the Viking Trail

basis for plan

with yarn wound

1/10 - 100gm/200m

and the ribbing started 2×2 on 3mm needles

a start

and yes, I am aware that I am knitting back and forth. Think cardigan, not jumper (pullover)

Pagode

like origami

when folded properly you can see that I finished the sleeve increases and am ready to head into the stripes – aka 12 ridges down and 48 to go.

Audio

There is a new, not improved interface for iTunes 9. I am not thrilled, for one thing they wiped out all the things I had on hold in the shopping cart. Ok, so I should not be using the shopping cart for a wish list, but isn’t that my choice.

Any who, I need to move on to a new listen. I tried out one of the Deathstalker serials, but prefer books read, not performed (multiple cast with sound effects).

Probably back to Good Omens (Pratchett, Gaiman).

I am tired, it is late. I am not setting an alarm.
