It’s late…like 10:10 p.m., I’m still trying to warm up from tonights GKHS vs. BHS girls varsity soccer game. The last game for this year, the weather was beyond miserable, I couldn’t even knit. Luckily, I had an hour to sit in the car until the game started while Alex was at warm up. I am over 50% done on my Rabbit Track scarf with the Rowan Tweed.
I did knit up a pair of baby booties Sunday/Monday. I spun up a 50/50 angora/mohair in natural white/grey and want to make another pair of booties in newborn size. Just about every pattern out there for booties has a seam, why oh why. Socks don’t have seams, why booties. My booties don’t have seams. Either I kitchner stitch the sole or I start there.
How can we “just say no to seams”? Though, Suzanne took a Finishing Class up at Hilltop Yarns and from the looks of her latest project, Hester the mouse, she is now A1 in seaming.
My Simple Pie Vest used the three needle bind off for the shoulder seams. Now, to just transfer that same pattern to “in the round” until the arm shaping takes place…it would also be a seam free item. Hmmm, I may have to work on that one.
I’m done with the hot chocolate…time to crawl to bed and hit the lights….
Happy knitting to all and to all a good night.
