And a Good Plan it Was
There was a plan. It was a plan that involved me finishing the hat and the mitts while we were up here and taking pictures here. I even demonstrated an impressive amount of forethought and planning by bringing appropriate blocking gear and the stuff to make my hair all shiny and well behaved. But then, the leftover yarn proved too much for me to resist, and I had to make a neck thing.
Alas, the neck thing won’t be done while we’re here (close, but not quite). And while I did bring mitt blockers (as you do), I did not bring blocking mats and pins. That would be taking things too far. So for now, you will have to settle for the hat and mitts. I’ll finish the neck thing up soon and see what I can do about pics when I get home.
A friend just informed me that the only thing she wants in the world is for me to knit her this set for Christmas. So, I have to ask: Will the patterns for the Hat, Mitts and Scarf be released soon? They really are quite beautiful!!!! Thank you.
Hmmm…I honestly can’t quite say for sure.
My goal is to finish knitting the neck thing in the next day or two. Then I need to rechart, rewrite, and reformat the existing pattern (adding in the third piece). That’s at least two day’s work. Then I have to take and edit photos, which means syncing up my schedule with a friend’s so she can model them.
Add in that I have a new book going into preorder next week, and things always get a bit…harried when that’s going on.
In an ideal world, I’d have it out in late November (which might be time to get them knit for your friend, depending on your knitting pace and schedule). But I really can’t be sure, and I don’t want to have you waiting on me and disappoint your friend.
So all of that is a shockingly long tale to hopefully explain why the answer is…maybe. Not terribly helpful I know, but I hope at least it gives a sense of why I’m not yet sure.
That beach shot reminded me of the salty toasted marshmallows from last year. Did you partake in that again?
It’s very possible such a thing could happen! We need to do a back yard fire and recreate part of the process at home.
