A very busy day
Phew.
We live in a fairly small apartment. Today, we had some people over for baby’s not-christening. We managed to fit 14 people, including the celebrated little thing, around our kitchen table, temporarily moved to the living room. It wasn’t exactly quiet…
Anyway, now they’ve all gone except baby’s grandparents who are staying the night. And the apartment is finally clean, most of our stuff is unpacked, and, well, I’m sort of in heaven. I wasn’t this past week, as we were trying to restore the apartment to some kind of working order after all the moving chaos.
So I knit. I may be crazy, but when I’m in panic and Armageddon looms, I knit. It’s the only way I stay sane (and drive the people around me completely mad). The other night I got tired of Forecast and decided to see what my greenish sock yarn would look like when knit. I found myself an old Bernat knitting book and cast on for a cabled sock. (Yes, I know, not the best choice for self-striping or variegated yarn. This sock yarn happens to be both.)
I call it Camouflaged Cable. Do you see it?
Oh, and for anyone who’s interested, this is as far as I got with Forecast before temporarily giving up on it:
I’ve gotten about 1-2″ past the row where you divide arms and body. As usual, the colors are really weird and don’t come close to the dark blue of reality. (Poetic, aren’t I?)
