The night before last I couldn't sleep so I was awake all night. Then I was up all day yesterday. Then yesterday evening I laid down at 7:30 just for a few minutes. I woke up at 10 and took my bedtime medicine and went to bed by 10:45. I slept until around 10 am this morning. Hopefully I'll sleep ok tonight.
The local yarn shop owner is taking tomorrow and Saturday off because her grandson is in town. She asked if a friend and I would watch the shop tomorrow. So I'll be at the yarn shop tomorrow. I just wish I had enough cash to eat lunch out. As it is I'll have a delicious bologna and ham sandwiches to eat!
I am knitting a necktie! A skinny necktie. My oldest son said he'd wear one, I've been wanting to knit one, so I've started on it. I am adapting the pattern in the Early Fall 2014 edition of "Vogue Knitting". (The picture is on page 53, and the pattern begins on page 85.) I am not using the color, brand, or exact fiber content of the requested yarn. I shopped in my stash instead and am using Red Heart, Heart and Sole yarn in the Faded Jeans color. I am also not doing the color/yarn changes the pattern calls for. I am using a self striping yarn and feel that that is more than enough for my first tie.
A picture of the tie so far.
I haven't but half an inch left to knit on the front ribbing and my vest will be done. Well ok, the knitting on it will be. I'll still have to weave in the ends and block it, but it's almost done. Maybe I can get it done tomorrow. Wish me luck.
I have a few items that I actually have the knitting finished, I just have to weave in ends and block them. Not many granted, but a few. I then have quite a handful of ufo's {Un Finished Objects} that I need to tackle. Yeah I know, shut up and get to work on them.
Until later, I'll be stitching madly.
