Finally, finally I got to go to knit night at Purlescence. I almost went last week but felt like, no, after that flu and two days’ break and then a cold, one more week. Just to be sure I don’t give any of that to anyone.
I got the BIGGEST hugs! I tell you. I’d missed those guys so much.
And towards the end I ripped out most of what I’d knit there because I hadn’t caught an early goof. It still felt good because now I know it’ll come out perfect. It’s a shawl that’s been waiting awhile for me to proof-knit it a second time because I do that when I’m intending to publish a pattern. I hadn’t gotten around to it and hadn’t gotten around to it so finally I’d given the second-done one away so I would have to.
Begin. The rest is easy. And it is! Man, that Malabrigo Silky Merino is nice stuff.
