disappearing for a little bit. this time i had to fly up to canada for a couple of days for work.
the place we stay is on the georgian bay in a town called honey harbor. its beautiful but i’ve only ever had one full day there at a time. i did get a great massage though.
i did start a new knitting project for myself. you may remember the jo sharp sweater i was having all the frustration with, i could just not get the gauge right. when i saw the mrs. darcy cardigan on craft i knew that was a perfect use for the yarn. I did a gauge swatch with the yarn doubled & it was spot on.
at 4 stitches per inch this is a super fast knit (especially with 12 hours on planes). I started a week ago sunday & have half a sleeve to go. I did have to alter the pattern a bit to increase it one size & I had some issues with the armhole shaping so i rewrote that too. i’ll post all my noes with the finished sweater.

Are you Continental knitting the new cardigan?? It’s really good to know both kinds of knitting so you can do two-handed stranding!
I’ve got a plane trip coming up in a couple of weeks, and already thinking about what I will be knitting.
You got some really nice pics going on!
Welcome back!!
I must forward that picture to a friend. Beautiful!
such pretty knitting!
(((hugs)))
