I only have about 5 or 6 more blocks to do on the back of Sanquar, which leaves about 40 or 48 more rows to go...not bad! I can do about 8 in an hour...that's about 800 stitches...then I get to work on the left front & do the finish work & voila...a photo is due, way overdue, maybe tomorrow I'll give it a go.
I can't wait until I finish the back so that I can use the needle for something else! I have another #6 needle, but one of the needles is split & Gary says that superglue will fix it... it's an ebony 4mm (US 6) & I just got it a few days ago... the few minutes I spent knitting with it until I noticed the split was delightful except for the yarn catching...
I'd love some input from others about whether or not it's worth trying to do a cable sweater in the round? I want to do Alice Starmore's St. Brigid sweater someday (don't know if I'll do that before or after the Tattoo sweater or/and vests for some or all the boys)... don't know if I should try to do it in the round or not... it would pobably be heavy, once I got to the armholes & such, and judging from how awkward the Sanquar vest is, and it's really not THAT awkward to do, I might try doing SB in pieces, especially since I don't think I've ever really done a sweater in pieces! I've done a couple in the round & the Sanquar vest is somewhat awkward: it's done all in one piece from the bottom to the armholes & then the fronts & back are worked separately above the armholes.
Micah got into some poison ivy on Saturday when we were at the soccer field... Gary was standing by in case they needed another referee and I had to do some shopping & to take care of a tire that didn't want to stay inflated, so we all went... on Saturday evening, he was complaining about itching. I gave him some allergy medicine...couldn't find the Benadryl, so I gave him Dimetapp... on Sunday morning he woke up with his face swollen & one eye was swollen shut... Gary went into town for some benadryl...that & ice seemed to help the swelling go down... on Monday morning, the swelling was worse, so we called the doctor & took him in. The doctor gave him some prednisone & something else & now he's looking a LOT better.. he has a follow-up visit with the doctor tomorrow. He says his face still itches...it's kind of odd that only Micah had the reaction & not his brothers...Evan said that he was "being careful"... Harrison was with me at Wal-Mart getting the car's oil changed & tire replaced...
