Now that I'm into the Vanna's Choice skein more, I'm liking it more. No more knots and I love the way it feels. Barbara mentioned that she used a smaller size needle with great results and she was right. I got gauge by going down one needle size but I don't think Charlotte will be as warm as she was wanting to be. My plan is to make two and stitch them together for double thickness. And reversible. I just hope I have enough yarn since she's going to be paying for that as well.
I need to make myself a cowl now because the weather is definitely cold and I need more layers. I'm even considering leg warmers because when my jeans ride up my legs the car seat is mighty cold. It being leather (used car) and all. And I have to finish Zach's sweater before Christmas. So why am I not getting anything done?
One reason is the parking lot is too dark for knitting. Another is Zach wants to listen to Half-Blood Prince with me so I can't listen while he's not there. I might have to get Artemis Fowl to listen to when he's in class and work on things that don't require a lot of attention. Or light.
Zach got out of class way early tonight so I've got a chance to watch that documentary about the Bible and finish up Buffy, season 6, and work on the chulo. I'm also working on snakes for my windows. It's mindless knitting on dpns and doesn't require a great job on it but I do need to start stuffing it before long. If I can find my bag of batting. I'm not sure where it is.
I'm off to make up the futon and curl up under the blankets and knit.
TTFN
