slow
Yesterday at the Brown Elephant on Clark I found 2 bags, 6 skeins each of Lion Kitchen Cotton, for $2!
It was kind of a pukey terra-cotta color, but it was tempting anyway because it was just so cheap! I could have had pukey terra-cotta washcloths until the end of time. What was I thinking? Maybe its still there...
I'm still living vicariously through other people's knitting blogs, as the knitting blackout continues. It seems to be doing some good for my wrist, and plus yesterday I threatened out loud to go to the doctor and today it feels much better. Maybe if I actually made and appointment it would go away? And then I could finish the blankie.. which is in fact, called Cavendish! How goosey! It is so lucious, they should have called it Lucious. Or Yum-yum.
Samkat was well on her way to being stuffed but somehow I got stalled on her head, when I accidentally sewed her left ear to the wrong side. But all that remains is to sew the ear back on and I am still stuck, because I am in a non-finishing phase in general. My laundry has been in the dryer for 3 days. Sometimes it seems like everything is in slow motion. How does it happen??
Duchamp, the Pippy Knit-A-Log paper edition, is coming along, also not so quickly but there is a cover
and 1.5 pages. Look for it soon in a mailbox near you. It feels very retro and weird to be drawing with a pencil.
