Reference<\/a><\/p>\n

Woohoo! I am still here! Either I don’t have the time to right a post, or I don’t have the light to take pictures for the post. In any case, here is an update.<\/p>\n

\"Sweater<\/a><\/p>\n

I am at the point on the back of Mr. Penney’s sweater that I am working the diamonds. All of those little wind-offs of yarn are for each diamond (though I actually miscounted by one. Oops!) For the wind-offs, I allotted about an inch of yarn per stitch. Since there are 144 stitches in each full diamond, I measured one yard of yarn (36 inches) and do a “two fold” (36 x 2 = 72, 72 x 2 = 144) to cut the length. Once I have one cut to length, I just measure the others against that. Since the actual correlation of yarn length to stitches for this knit is 2.5 inches for 3 stitches, I have some room for variance (i.e. mistakes.)<\/p>\n

I am also moving right along on the sock front.<\/p>\n

\"Sock<\/a><\/p>\n

The koi pond sock is nearing where I have to turn the heel.\u00a0Because I was going to a meeting Wednesday night<\/a>, I didn’t want to be thinking about short rows while socializing, so I resurrected the cross-stitch block sock<\/a>. What you see is as far as I got in the two and a half hours I was at Borders meeting everyone.<\/p>\n

The meetup itself was nice. Some were very excited to have a man there, as they “lost their previous man” a little while ago. (He moved to San Diego.) I will be going back again, though not this coming Wednesday, as I will probably be baking something to take over to my parents’ for Thanksgiving dinner. If you don’t hear from me by then, have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
