You know how I love everything to be matchy matchy – when I
bought the Blue Moon Fiber Arts yarn that I used for Leon’s Ardmore, I bought a
matching skein of sock yarn in the same colour – Meet brown, Joe. They look a
little different because they are dyed on different bases, but they are the
same colour:
I finished the jumper this week, it’s blocking now and we’ll
do a photoshoot on the weekend. I cast on a matching pair of socks – I’m using
the Ardmore pattern transcribed onto a 68 stitch sock. This is such fun, although it has progressed
slowly this week, partly because it is quite cabled:
But look how the cables pop in the Socks That Rock! Mainly
they have been slow because we’ve been out every night this week. I saw my
finger therapist this week and he gave me a new splint:
I’m seeing him again in two weeks. Hopefully I’ll be done
with the splint by then. I want to finish a project at the same time as I get
free of this splint, because it’s probably affecting my tension. I asked my
hand therapist if I could take the splint off to cast on – I tried to explain
how the long tail cast on is difficult without being able to use my fourth
finger. He gave me a blank look, and then said “no”. Well he took about six sentences
to do so, but the summary was no. At least the new brace holds my finger in
perfect knitting position.
