Loose Ends
Sleeve number one is coming along . . . thankfully much faster once I got past the ribbing. In fact, just a couple more inches and it’ll be time to start sleeve number two.
You can also see all the many yarn ends. I spent a fair amount of Sunday afternoon weaving them in. Well, sort of. What with it being nice, sticky, Shetland wool and all, I figure it doesn’t really need THAT much help, right? So I kind of just did the quick and dirty version of weaving them in.
Now, of course, I know that there are other options for joining yarn ends that would avoid all this messiness, and I seriously considered them, but decided that it was going to be too complicated, trying to capture the ends while doing fair isle. I decided that it would just be easier to do them the tedious way.
Although, I have to tell you that there really were a lot of them.
Oh, and I have two new blogs to tell you about, though neither is about knitting.
One, Punctuality Rules, is another of mine, and it’s about writing rules and common courtesy . . . an unique combination, I’m aware, but, well . . . I tried to explain that in the first post.
The other blog is Mom’s, and is called MV Obsession. Yes, I finally convinced her to start a blog, and Martha’s Vineyard IS the obvious choice of a topic for her, wouldn’t you say?

House Calls
Your knitting is beautiful!
Deb,I talked to you about dog clippers a few days ago. Today I went to Target about bought an Andis grooming kit for $35. You get what you pay for! My dog is 1/2 bichon, and her fur is extremely thick and wiry with a downy undercoat. The clippers would not go through her fur and I could even hear the motor slowing down. I ended up using your scissors method and now my dog looks all jacked up like she was attacked by Edward Scissorhands. I feel so bad, but I cannot afford $45 grooming every month- I don’t even spend that on ME!
I’ll bet Autumn Rose will be done for our Nov. 10 double b-day spinning party! That is just an amazing sweater. So cool your Mom has a blog! I’ll stop in & leave her a comment.
Autumn Rose is looking fantastic! You will be done before you know it. Can’t wait to see you modeling it. Bless you on all that weaving you had to do.
Autumn Rose is progressing very nicely. I started mine this weekend, beginning with the sleeve (as an overgrown swatch) and am really loving it so far.
Thank you Deb for sending a link to my blog… I have to admit I should have done this sooner … you were right, again
I hope it will be as interesting as yours and of your knitter bloggers.
What a beautiful sweater!! Absolutely gorgeous so far.
Good luck with your new blog! And good luck to your Mom too. Please let me know how the two blogs go. I have a second one for cycling that I’m thinking of discontinuing, because it’s hard for me to do both. Hopefully you will have an easier time.
Gorgeous – but dang, those ends! Nightmares…
Wow! The sleeve looks great!
Autumn Rose is looking gorgeous!
