Hint

img_1911 Okay, here’s a hint for my Blue Zephyr project.

Any more guesses?

(And, no, I’m not making the Shawl.)

This brings my WIP list up to three–the sweater, the socks, and now, this lace project. That’s just about perfect, I think.

Today was Monday, of course. Chappy was blah this morning because his happy weekend was over. The weather was warm again (upper 60s), but a little overcast. We still got out for not one, but two walks, though. And on the second, we saw his favorite neighbors, who we haven’t seen in a while. I don’t know who was happier–Chappy or Mr. M.

Oh, and the best part? (grin) While we were talking, Mrs. M. went running inside and came out with a long, garter-stitch rectangle. She’s trying to pick up knitting again and couldn’t remember how to purl. So, Mr. M. held Chappy’s leash while I gave a quick lesson. Funny, huh? Not only that, in two weeks I promised to give a co-worker and an ex-co-worker knitting lessons. This is the very first time anyone’s ever taken me up on the “Will you make me a ___?” with “No, but I’ll be happy to teach you,” offer, so that’s kind of neat, too. I guess I’m getting a reputation?

    Still no idea. Peacock Feathers lace tablecloth?

    Way to go with the non-knitters! What’s that saying? World domination – one knitter at a time. ;)

    I’ve no idea what the project is…hrmmmm…

    I am a firm believer in “Knit a woman a scarf and she only has one…teach her to knit and she’ll have scarves her whole lifetime” (or a stash to rival the national debt…one or the other…or both) ;o)

    I’m not even going to try guessing. If it’s Peacock Feathers anything, it will be beautiful. As for the teaching….good for you! That’s how I learned. My great aunt taught me when I asked her to knit me some Barbie clothes (I was only 8). Soon we will take over the world.

    I’ve taught a few people using the same offer. :) They’re all hooked!

    Ah, whatever the blue zepyhr becomes will be lovely. Zephyr is wonderful stuff…
