As some of us have been knitting lately, I have made a thread.

kii – have you started knitting yet?

ruby – I’ve not done a lot of knitting and I realized I don’t actually know the “right” way to join the pieces. I think I just made something up. The interwebs tell me about mattress stitch, but apparently it can also be done with crochet. I like the idea of the crochet – it’s supposed to give you an invisible seam. How do you do it?

buffy…not yet. I need to buy a comfortable chair and can’t make up my mind about which one I want.

Arts…yes, Ravelry is great. The shawl I want to renew my knitting skills with is from there.

I’ve got about 20 rows left until the back is finished. I just need to not get distracted by gardening and plants and afternoon naps.

Ugh…casting off in purl isn’t fun. And I’ve been working off the wrong pattern, so not raglan sleeves but set in sleeves. I’m not undoing it. I can cope with set in sleeves. And it’s an excuse to do another one when I finish this one. I did wonder that the shaping didn’t seem quite right. But it’s so many years since I did a jumper.

TV now.

You’ll be the talk of the village: ‘Have you seen Buffy in her set in sleeves?’
