Easter knitting (or not!)
March 29, 2005
Hello - hope everyone had a fabby easter! I went to stay at my parents in Birmingham, and Adam came too, which was ACE. My dad loves cooking, and me and Adam do too, so we ate REALLY well for 4 days :)
I got there a day before Adam, so I finished knitting Gemma's first sleeve (I've not knitted anything else yet, I started with a sleeve):
I started with a sleeve because the body is totally covered in the 2 colour pattern, and I didn't want to start with that, but it turned out that row after row of st st was pretty boring! So I'm glad that's one sleeve down really. Although the Calmer is really lovely to work with.
Anyway, after Adam came I just spent time with him, and didn't knit another row! I guess now I'm on my own again the knitting will pick up :)

The sleeve looks fantastic. I saw earlier that Woolywarbler (http://woollywarbler.typepad.com/) is thinking of doing the body in the round as is another blogger she mentions. Something to consider to get past all those ends!
