There has not always been a lot of knitting going on here. Several other items have taken up my time and hands. Last night however I was determined to finish the body of Rogue so I could start the sleeves soon. It is not that I am ready to be done with this project, because I love knitting it, but more that I am feeling an urge to get on with it, to feel the wool in my hands again, to just sit and enjoy the stitches.
I did finish the knitting of the hood and got started with the grafting:
It went well, but I was tired. I kept losing my chain of thought. "Did I take one or both stitches off the needle?" I would ask. Recount. Repeat process. This leads to very slow work and grafting, although really not that difficult does require a modicum of attention.
At 1:30 I called it quits and crawled peacefully under the covers, snuggling myself under the down comforter. We call this Spring?
At 5:00 AM I bolted awake, dreaming of painting and grafting, filled with an urge to finish one step or part of somethng. The birds weren't even up yet. This was not part of the plan.
Late night grafting? You are indeed a brave soul. Can't wait to see the finished Rogue!
