In which Annie is overjoyed that today is Not Sunday, and thus tomorrow is Not Monday
It’s the little things in life that make me happy. Like waking up this morning to realize that it wasn’t Sunday, I didn’t have to get up and get dressed for church, and that the post office is still open today and I can mail the package I promised to send to my mother.
I’m also happy because I got to get out of the house for a while yesterday to get to Sophie’s, a new yarn store here in Louisville. Spent time with Viki, and while we were there, we flipped through the newest Knitters–and we’ve decided that we have to have “Wobbly Ribs.”
OK, so it’s a funky, not very attractive name for a sweater. But we both liked the textured look of the sweater and how it fits, so we went off to the “Wall o’ Encore” and chose colors. Since the medium only calls for 1065 yards, we got off pretty cheaply.
Our goal is to have swatches and gauge set by Tuesday, and start on the back.
But now I’m headed out to hit the PO and go to (gasp) Target. Wish me luck!
Annie,
I have finished my swatch. Size 8′s are perfect for my knitting and this yarn. It took several rows for the wobbles to show up so don’t give up in frustration. Knit the swatch and give it a tug and the pattern works.
I have cast on for the back and have knit 4 rows on size 6 needles. Had to stop for dinner.
I have found it hard to knit and watch Harry Potter 3.

I frogged the whole back this afternoon. Cindy and I were talking at the Old Louisville Coffee House and since I am using a varigated yarn there would be no way the colors would match on the side seams. So I ripped it all out and cast on the front and back together. Put markers where the seams would be, I’ll knit it together to the arm hole shaping and then work them separately. Aaaahh!

I never can do anything simply can I?
