the time of people asking
what we’d like for Christmas is over
and here i’ve stumbled across just the thing.
this is so clever and so handy (or perhaps ‘wristy’)
i would use it all the time and then some.
if you’re a knitter you probably would, too.
alas, now we must wait until our birthdays to request it,
but you better believe i’ve got it bookmarked.
i’ll be able to find it immediately
(if not sooner) when
i’m asked.

“i’m the boss of my knitting”.
i am, although today the knitting doesn’t seem to know it.
working on the math for the first sweater in the collection.
using a lace stitch pattern
that repeats every 4″.
this is a designing challenge,
because if it’s not adjusted in some way
the only chest circumferences available would be
28 (36, 44, 52, 60) inches around.
not gonna work for way too many shapes and sizes of knittahs.
hence,
today
finds me
currently
hunkered
down
at this
little desk
in my little
workroom,
a #2 pencil
and
a back-up
at my side
(oh, how it annoys me to have to stop mid-way thru a math equation to sharpen a tip).
i’m hacking away at
my brainstormed
list of
possible solutions.
and one of them
is going to
work.
my new pin from
lys ‘in the loop’ is here on the desktop reminding me
that “i’m the boss of my knitting”.
take that you wiley lace stitches!
