KnitTech: August 2016

List Day

Gas is still at $2.48 per gallon
Thre was seven cars at the coffee shop this morning
Course I was there about 0930, instead of 0500
We had a potluck at work. I'm so full
Today is Kommandant's birthday
We're going to see Jim Jefferies tonight
I'm working a half day today, it's the last half. It's seemly taking forever to finish
Have a good weekend everyone

Finished two wash clothes

Finished another two

What am I going to do with all this left over cotton? Time to start a scrap blanket

I have a dentist appointment today. I broke a tooth and it's going to get fixed. Usually I have my knitting with me to help pass the time, but today I forgot it. In the mad dash to get out the door on time, I left it sitting on the coffee table. I guess I'll need to kill zombies. Sorry sock, you missed out.

It's a Sweater

I've got a couple of inches to knit on the Captain America sweater before I start the star. I've got some math that needs to happen, because this sweater is a bit larger then the pattern.

In the mean time, there are some things I need to do:

Figure out where to center the star. It needs to be above a red column
Where to put the sleeves
I haven't looked to see how many stitches the star is, so I'm kinda making trouble for myself

The Eldest, who I'm making the sweater for, want it to be a hoodie. I'm thinking I've never done a hood before and I really don't want to do it, so you're getting a crew sweater. Deal with it. But part of me is going, you can do the hood, it's not a big deal. Well, you've seen what the other half of me says. So I'm torn.

I can't wait until it's cool enough to knit on this project.

Down the street on a sunny day

Finished another washcloth. It's too hot to knit with wool or acrylic, so cotton it is. The past couple of days have been a bit cooler, but still on the warm side.

Started a new washcloth. Perky's in-laws like the knitted washcloths for Christmas, figure it doesn't hurt to have them on hand. (She'd better get knitting on some also.)

I lost my cable needle (somewhere in the house) and bought a new one. (The blue one.) Decided I hated it and had to find my regular cable needle on line. After posting to Ravelry asking what's it's called. Now I've got a name. Or you can check out Knit Picks tool.

Stay cool out there.

List Day

Gas is still at $2.48 per gallon
It's less than 20 bucks to fill the new car, when the tank is half empty
There was two cars at the coffee shop this morning
I grabbed the wrong muffin out of the freezer
We have to dress up for work today. These shoes really kill my knees
Fall is coming, Onion is low on the eastern sky
Should that be, Winter is coming?
Happy Friday Eve, everyone

It's been a while since I've posted. It's too hot to knit currently, so here is a run down of what I'm working on when I can.
