Knitting over lunch
Thursday, November 18th, 2004Inspired by others who take time to knit over lunch, I had myself a leisurely 36-minute lunch break today… I cast on for the Ribby Cardi last night (while watching yet another ten-year-old Jet Li kung fu movie) and so that’s what I worked on at lunch.
I gasp didn’t swatch for this. The pattern gauge is 19 sts to 4″ and I believe the last time I swatched this yarn (for the never-did-happen Rebecca Cable Sweater), it gave me 18 or 19 sts. So, I’m knitting dangerously. If I do get 18 sts instead of 19, it will just be a little roomier. I’m making the 2x2x3x1 ribbed version, so that should also help cinch it in a bit!
Oh, but now for the important part.
Lunch was at Finch’s again… I found myself a south-facing window seat and had their divine blue brie and prosciutto baguette with today’s soup — a portobello and field mushroom soup with cabernet sauvignon and black peppercorn. This café gets gorgeous light, even on a dreary and rainy day like today.
