summer is here, and it is too hot to knit, so it’s editing and planning instead
Each Wednesday, I post a snapshot of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.
Last week when I finished up weaving in the million and a half ends on my many-color colorwork sweater, I had intended to continue taking advantage of being in the mood to weave in ends (which happens once in a never-moon), and move on to another knitting project that was all done except for the many ends to weave in.
But then summer came to NYC, brought with it heat and humidity, and touching wool was a non-starter.
So I’ve been focusing away on the edits and rewrites for Shawl Geometry Book Three, plus a new project that I’m really excited about (if you enjoyed the Self-Made Wardrobe Project from a couple years ago, I think you’ll like this one too) – and of course, not melting.
A five-minute dress alteration, finishing a multi-year knitting project, and working on endless edits
Each Wednesday, I post a snapshot of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.
How many ends can one sweater have? It turns out this sweater has 4 weeks worth of ends.
But all the ends are woven in! Now this sweater just needs a quick bath and it’ll be finished. Considering I started this sweater at the end of 2014, it’s about time.
I also knocked out a quick alteration from my pile of works-in-progress. And am continuing, what feels like, a never ending editing process.
weaving in many ends, sewing together many yards, and editing many, many words
Each Wednesday, I post a snapshot of the projects I’m working on, and where my brain is at.
Picking away at projects one end at a time, one stitch at a time, and one word at a time.
I’m continuing to work my way through weaving in the ends of a sweater with a million ends. And I spent most of yesterday sewing 7 yards of a bright red silk for a theater project. While carving out times to edit many words about knitted shawl shaping.
