Yesterday it was so quiet at work the kimono I'm knitting for KZ's bean went from this...
to this, and I'm not that fast a knitter. True, it's only 48 stitches across the back (I'm casting on stitches for the sleeves; this is a very clever pattern) but this is light worsted, almost DK weight yarn, and still I'm zooming along. Although knitting without much of a break for 7 hours sure makes my vision screwy. Maybe it's time to go get my eyes checked...
I wish someone would make a sewing website (Stitcherie, maybe?) like
Ravelry for knitters. I bought 2 yds. of this gorgeous linen the other day and I'd like to have a place where I could list all the fabrics I have and the sewing books and stuff like batting and interfacing and elastic. There'd be a lot less duplication. Somebody get on that, please.
