This time living up to the reputation regarding the quantity and frequency of rain. Today was the first day of the week when i did not get soaked either in the morning or at the evening (or both). Today we had big wind only :P
I had three days totally off of knitting. I didn't had anything on the needles to just carry on, and was too knocked off after the swallowtail to start anything new. I wanted to do two little scarves/shawls plus the big lacey one during the olympics time, i had one small and the big one down, olympics still going, so after a remarkably short time of pondering ( a mere 2 hours...) i grabbed one of the jitterbugs and cast on for a Traveling woman. I had a bit of a sway towards the Multnomah with stocking stitch instead of garter st as the colours are on the rustic side and would have looked well with those big calm waves, but it also would've made it too rustic. So i stuck with the traveling eoman and it goes quite nice, i'm on the middle of the second repeat of chart a. The probably will be too short for three repeats as the edge chart quite big. I have time until sunday evening, so even with the planned pub visit i'll finish it easily.
Next olympics i'll have to do something really big. Like a Herbert Niebling lace with 2000 (two thousand) sticthes in one round or some norwegian colourwork jumper on 3mm needles.
I ordered some yarn and other stuff off the internet including a 2,5 mm circular addi needle i needed in order to start a project. Except when the needles arrived and i held them i just couldn't remember what project was that. Maybe some gloves. Now i have to go back to my ravelry page and dug up my Favourites pile... like i don't do this enough times already (about once a week, takes hours :D )
