I really did not get much knitting done this past weekend in the city. It was too hot and sticky, when I was indoors I just wanted to let that cold air conditioning flow over my body unencumbered by yarn or any activity whatsoever. I did catch up on sleep and some reading, both of which were badly behind.
I managed to get 20 rows of knitting done on Phildar. I am now definitely well established in the front pattern and it is pretty set in my mind. Only 42 rows more before armhole shaping. A little progress is better than none.
Despite the lack of fiberly activites** I feel refreshed and ready to attack my various projects with new energy. Of course, the continued humidity may cruelly cut that new-found energy short.
** we did go to Habu Textiles, new territory for me, but I was overwhelmed by the wonderful and amazing yarns and fabrics. Luckily I know I can go back. My brain is swirling with thoughts when I let it venture that far. Sometimes with something so amazing I need time to absorb the possibilities.
Mardel, I understand your being overwhelmed at Habu. Not that I've been there in person, but I've looked through their website, and that alone was quite something. Their range of fibers are amazing and so many are completely new to me. Keep us posed on what you are going to par take!
