What Will I Do Now?
At officially 12:05pm today.. I... finished.. knitting.. the TCC. Not to say that I'm totally done with it.. but there is no more knitting to be done at all. None. Over. Finished. No more knitting.
...What will I do now?
I know what youre thinking.. "How about weaving the ends and blocking and seaming and buying the buttons and wearing it?!?!!"
Yeah I know.
I may try to block it this weekend.. but I tell you.. my Alfred has been a terrorist lately and I'm afeared of what he might do with a sweater on a blocking board. If I had an extra bedroom or something there wouldn't be a problem.. but I have no such space. The plan is to put the blocking board on the diningroom table.. Alfred also has an affinity for pins.. One day I noticed one of my blocking pins on the floor in an odd place.. and then I looked for my pincushin and it wasn't in my bag.. I proceeded to use the rest of the day searching for it.. When I finnally found it most of the pins were pulled out and it was obvious that Alfred thought it was so much fun. I ended up putting them in an old perscription bottle that has a lock on it..
So I dunno.. but it needs to be done so I can wear this dangd ole sweater.
It has taken me 10 months to finish the knitting of this thing.. No wonder I feel so lost about it.. lol. I started back in March of 06.. that is just nuts.
Anyway.. I have to go get ready for work now.. if anyone has any tips for how to keep a kitten off a drying sweater.. please let me know!

Put the sweater in a cage? lol
Hmm. Nope, no tips for the kitty problem. If I were you, I'd cast on something else, though. :D
I like the idea of putting the sweater in a cage. Here's another suggestion: place foil around the sweater while its on the board. I don't know if your kitty is afraid of these noises.
Good luck.
Knit on!
Good luck.

About Me
- Name: Kim
- Location: Houston, Texas, United States
I'm a tiny short woman who loves to knit clothes that actually fit me. I first learned to knit when I was about 10 but I never got beyond knit and purl. I didn't pick up knitting again till about 2 years ago, and now with the help of tons of library books, I'm chugging along and I think I'm pretty darn good : ) I'm married, and love my Australian husband dearly.
