I am still in San Francisco and not much knitting is happening here. However the sewing week ended last night and I thought I perhaps had more patience and down-time to connect and update you on my progress. The high-speed internet connection is still not working in my room but I perhaps have more time now that I am not rushing up to either the sewing room or to dinner, and thought I could work through the more tedious telephone connection.
Here are photos of Wine and Roses, which is languishing at home on the blocking board, waiting my return:
As you can see, there are many ends to weave in.
I have been thinking about the ends and realize that weaving in will be somewhat tricky because of the blend of fibers, some of which are quite ravelly and will have to be knotted. There might be some way to knot them together and then deal with the ends in a decorative but still flat and neat way. More research will be required when I get home.
I have made a little progress on Aiko, about 3 1/2 inches up into the sleeve shaping. I might finish the front before flying on Tuesday, when I will start the sleeves.
Most of this was knitted yesterday in the van while Dan drove our sewing group around the bay area for some fabric shopping.
Tomorrow I will go to ArtFibers and I will update you on all the wonderful details.
