Still Branching
So, it's getting longer, but not very fast! Remember when I said it goes fast? I lied. It does go pretty fast, if you can sit and knit and think about it, but I'm getting about one repeat of the 5 row pattern in 30 minutes or so, and I just can't do it much longer than that. Short span of attention, I guess. So, rep an evening, max, and I don't work on it every night. It's no good at all for conversation knitting, TV or movie knitting, or even listening to an audio book knitting because you have to pay too much attention. I almost have the pattern memorized, and that helps not having to look at the little chart every few stitches, but you still have to think about what you're doing. How those ladies do those fancy big shawls I really don't know. This is as tricky as I want to tackle, for a while I think. The yarn is sure nice to touch, and it's fuzzing out quite a bit more than I expected it to. I'm anxious to wash and block it so see how it acts. Only another two feet to go!
