Your mileage may vary.
Monday, January 23rd, 2006Last week, the frenzy surrounding Stephanie’s Knitting Olympics got me thinking — what would be challenging for me to knit in 16 days? And really, the answer would be “anything”. Even a single sock would be challenging for me to knit in 16 days — the challenge being finding the time to do it.
But during my decision making process, I considered knitting up Starmore’s Grant Avenue… which led me to consider buying the Virtual Yarns kit from Alice directly… which led me to thinking about buying yarn for Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Fair Isle Yoke Sweater (from the Opinionated Knitter)… which led me to think that I really (really, really) should knit something from my stash… which led me to pick up the Fair Isle Cardigan that I’m already working on.
Is it depressing when your mileage is measured in millimetres per hour?
No, no, not depressing at all. I love making each and every stitch, spreading them out on the lovely ebony Holz & Stein circs and watching the colours ebb and flow. The cardi is nearly 300 stitches around, so yeah, it’s going to take a while. But no rush. No 16-day deadline.
