Knitting related (at last!)
OK – so thank you to everyone still reading after yesterday’s off-putting entry!
Some knitting stuff at last:
This is how far I’ve managed to get so far with my goddaughter’s cardigan – since it is an adaptation of haiku I’ve decided to call it senryu – I especially like that this form of Japanese Poetry tends to be about human foibles – describes much of my knitting perfectly 
The Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino is a dream to knit with, and I seem to be avoiding Second Sleeve Syndrome with this item. I still need to pick up and knit the pink garter stitch round the bottom, and am trying to decide what sort of flower I want to make for the front. I’m hoping the whole thing will look a lot better when I’ve finished and blocked it.
And I’m making progress with Adam’s scarf
(For the over-observant, yes this is exactly the same photo as last time, but there really isn’t much difference – I’ve done one more band, and calculated that there are only 2 more to go – and a few rows of garter stitch at the end – in fact I’m down to 40 rows (and counting) – I’m so not enjoying it, but Adam is really excited about it, and if I get it done it’ll give me some more breathing space with his jumper.)
I’ve paused for a while with the VEY, although that is still lovely.
And when I’ve finished the scarf I have to get back to Adam’s Norwegian jumper – Second Sleeve Syndrome has set in badly there – I’m feeling all Fair Isled out, esp since I know that my method is not the “correct” or efficient one.
Anyway, I’m feeling really grim with the end of a rotten cold (prob not really flu, but I do ache) – everything hurts, esp when I move my eyes, so I’m back to bed.
two comments:
Hope you feel better soon. Take is easy.

I like your senryu… did you do the haiku adaptations yourself? Would you share? I have to do a cardigan for a baby girl asap and I like the look of yours very much.Fi () (link) - 08 October '05 - 13:28
