Is it just me, or does Friday feel off-kilter this week? The mid-week fourth has unsettled my inner calendar and I have spent the remainder of the week reminding myself what day it is.
One good thing, the blast furnace weather seems to be taking a breather for a few days of reprieve with the arrival of cooler weather. It is telling that we are calling weather in the 80’s ‘cooler’ but it does feel that way this morning and the gentle rain is also a welcome change!
On the knitting front, I am working through the third repeat of clue two in KK’s MKAL, clue three is out and I will try and get through some of it this weekend.
Monday and Tuesday will be Day Two and Three of my “knit a sweater in 4 (or 5) days” marathon. Steve will be gone next weekend so Friday and Saturday knitting will hopefully bring me a sweater completion. I even have my “knitting listening” queued up – Anna Karenina is all set to go and it will fill my “more than 500 pages” bingo square!
Now, how about some links?
Elizabeth Doherty released a couple of beautiful patterns this week: Westerly and Westbound
I also love Big in Japan!
Not a sweater knitter? Inca Trail is lovely! And, I also love the Textured Laguna Wrap (and it is free today!)
Sarah Jordan has worked out a toe-up version of her Non-Euclidian socks! If anyone knows socks, it is Sarah… she knits a plethora of them every year!
Finally, Random.org has spoken and the fifth comment on Wednesday is the lucky recipient of 30-days of the WaPo. Debbie, you should have an email advising you of that! If you don’t, please let me know!
That is all I have for this week! See you all back here on Monday!
I agree, today, this Friday is definitely out of kilter. Even the city and highway traffic is off, and grocery stores, who knows – due to that middle-of-the-week holiday.
Congrats Debbie on your free month of WaPo! 🙂
I am down to the last 20 rows or so for Miss Audrey’s sweater. I should have that done on Sunday. Yay!
Love those links. I’m so far behind the 8-ball, I will have to knit til I’m 100 years old!!! LOL
Thank you! I will certainly enjoy this month of the WaPo! I really like those links today, but have two projects on my needles which is more than enough to keep me busy right now.
So many great patterns!! Have a great weekend, Kat!
Both of those Elizabeth Doherty patterns are on my wish list now — I just love her stuff!
I’m glad others have felt off-kilter after the mid-week holiday, and it’s not just me. I was convinced that yesterday was Monday, but am glad that today is Friday! That gold yarn is gorgeous, and I look forward to seeing your MKAL shawl and sweater. You and Anna will have a great time!
I thought yesterday was Friday and today was Saturday. I’m so confused! But it’s a good thing to have extra days off.
The blast furnace is here in Utah and since I retired and Smith works a different schedule every week, we NEVER know what day of the week it is. Welcome to my world.
Those mid-week breaks can certainly mess you up
I hope that cooler weather makes its way south! I started clue 3 yesterday and it’s fun! (but whoa, there’s a lot of drama about yarn chicken in the spoiler thread – I’m glad I decided to go with one color … you too?)
I agree, yesterday seemed like Saturday to me. That mid-week holiday plus a few days away scrambled my brain. Hope you have a great scrambled weekend!
Whoa!!! That gold yarn is FABulous!!!!
