Armwarmers – Take 2
OK – the shirring elastic really helped! Two rows double-stranded at the upper cuff works really well. And since the elastic is black and the yarn in purple & black, you can’t see it.
Armwarmers
Just completed some armwarmers. They fit really well but started to slip down rather quickly when I tried wearing them today (it’s really that cold). I’ve just ordered some black shirring elastic to add to the upper cuff. I hope it will be strong enough. I really like the yarn but it is a little on the heavy side. Immediately started some matching fingerless gloves (had one knitted in a few hours). Then I might use up the rest of the yarn to make another Boneyard Shawl. ADDENDUM: I made a pair of matching Urban Wristers instead. Sorry the photo…
A Miserable Monday
It’s cold and raining here. A typical UK November day.
Not So Good
K hasn’t had a good week at all 🙁
Having done so very well with the new patches since the end of August, he suddenly had a relapse this week. 9 – 10 hours of pain every day. Needless to say, he didn’t go to school all week, so I had the weird experience of going to the (standard) parent-teacher meeting this term when he wasn’t even in school.
