No time for much knitting today; I’ve been consumed with the search for a book from my childhood. It was the story of the Cat on the Dovrefells, but not the Jan Brett version. And of course, not having read it in 25+ years, I don’t remember the title or the author; just that it must have been published before 1980. (Probably in the early 70s.)
This is going to drive me nuts. Until I forget. And then I’ll go back to the library, and it will drive me nuts again.
At any rate… my current “home mindless knitting” project is Haiku, from Knitty (Fall, 2002).
I was going to do another baby sweater that I’d found in a book, but then the yarn shop woman suggested this, and I remembered liking it. She warned me that it was mind-numbingly boring. I ignored her. She was right.
But at least I can knit it while I’m watching terrible movies. (Hot Fuzz FTW!) And it will be cute. It’s for a baby of currently unknown sex, and I think it’ll work well for either. (Although it is huge; the idea behind it is that next Fall when the mother realizes that her child has grown out of all its warm clothes, hey! It’ll at least have a cardigan that fits.)
I need to find cute buttons. But not too cute; we don’t need another obsession starting up. (The beaded stole is bad enough.)
