Knitty Sister

YES! I *do* have gauge! Hurrah!!!!! Size 9 needles and old Lion Brain "Textures" 100% wool from the Stash, which softened into a gentle haze after washing. Rogue is ready for take off. Hurrah!!!!

Other Projects

My grey Raglan is giving my troubles. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but something isn't working out. I had this problem before, but the Man has moved all my knitting gear and I can't find my old knitting notebook, which had my notes for this project. As usual, I'm just making up my own pattern, following advice from Barbara Walker (From the Top book). I wish I could find my old notebook!!!!

Ms. Lorraine liked the shop sample, and gave me a skein of the cashmere for my very own! I think I'm going to make the same pattern for the Dr. with whom I work. I gave her the sample to feel, and she adored it. She deserves a nice present!!!

Also, I got some DK weight Shetland, Jamieson brand, for socks. I keep socks in my purse for car knitting, and secret work destressing times.

So that makes 5 projects that I have going on right now:

Getting ready to cast on for Rogue

Socks (for me!)

Neck Warmer (for the Dr.)

Grey Raglan (for me!)

Prayer Shawl, which I really need to do more of. So far I've been knitting a few rows/day, but I should step up on it. My Friend needs it, badly.

Overall, though, most of the projects are for me. This is soooo nice, and quite unusual!

That's the Weekend Update. Happy knitting!
