Protective
The blue thing has grown (erm, it’s all lowering clouds and sunset glow here, hence this seeming to be a rather enthusiastically different color than in the last picture…I don’t love you all enough to fiddle with the color on a blog picture, sorry).
This is tremendously uncharacteristic knitting for me. I don’t usually do blue (turquoise yes, blue-y blue like this, no). I don’t usually knit flat. I don’t usually knit on big needles. I don’t usually knit wraps. But this simply needed to be done. It’s cold outside. This is warm. The world at large seems exceptionally abrasive just lately. This is soft. I’m in the middle of about 8 hard work things. This is easy.
I should finish this off the next time I sit down to knit. Then will come a vigorous bit of blocking (like all lacy things, it looks like a pile of mess right now) and then perhaps a of a picture. I’m looking forward to it.
Can’t wait to see it blocked! Don’t fight the knitting urges, roll with them, it sounds like you need it!
“…don’t usually do blue (turquoise yes, blue-y blue like this, no). I don’t usually knit flat. I don’t usually knit on big needles. I don’t usually knit wraps.”
Wow, me too, all of that, so I’m eager to see what you’re up to.
I just looked at your hot choc. paste and will try that as soon as our weather cools here. Many thanks!
I’m enjoying this, but then, I love a blue-y blue.
I’ve heard rumors you’re not alone in this fondness…though I will warn you, the next project is a totally unclassifiable color, just to make up for the blueness of this one!
Katie is definitely not alone in her love of blue. 🙂
This is reminding me of a knit-along for one of the podcasts I listen to. They are doing an anomalous knit-along for October, and the point is to knit something you wouldn’t normally knit. It is the Ewe University podcast, if you are interested in joining in. 🙂
