the blue blog archives: sneak peek

Another sneak peek at my secret project, which is coming along fabulously. I'm loving the colors. They remind me of sherbert.

Yes, stripes means weaving in ends. It's unavoidable. I know, I know, you all want me to weave in as I go, but when I try, the colors keep popping through to the other side and it'll all just be neater when I do it later with the tapestry needle. It's not like you have to do it. (Of course, if you want to, I wouldn't mind! Hee, hee.)

The secret project is just lovely, and indeed looks tasty! My favorite rationalizations for leaving weaving until the end are (1) it's a bear to frog something with woven ends, and (2) it's easier and probably neater to hide the ends in the seam. Missed you at Knitsmiths las Sunday! It was a smallish but interesting group. Tchuss!

Every time I knit something stripey like this, I think..."Aw heck, I'll weave in the ends when it's done and just enjoy the knitting for now." And every time I finish up such a project I vow..."I'll never do this to myself again!" LOL
