I’m at the point in this ribbed waistband where I would really like to be done with it, but I also want it to be about half an inch longer. K1P1 sometimes feels never-ending!

Been sick the last few days - so sick that I really haven’t even knit much. But I have put a few rounds on this project which lives next to my bed and rarely gets worked on. It’ll get done eventually…

Loving how this yarn by apothefaery fabrications is knitting up! It is a merino/linen blend and is very pleasant to work with.

You can’t really complain about something changing that you don’t like if you are unwilling to do something about the problem. Today my knitting will join me (tucked in my handbag) as I meet with Congress to try to affect change. Meanwhile, some early morning knitting as I wait for my day to begin…

Just about done with this project! Down to the last bit so I’m starting on the mirrored portion of ribbing so it matches the cast-on edge. Using my handmade row counter bracelet to keep track!

Today’s advice for knitters who want a particular piece to be mistake-free (perhaps it is a gift like this is) - take a photograph of it periodically (preferably BEFORE you weave in the loose ends lol). The camera sees shadows your brain normally ignores! (See my mistake?) #knitting
