Round and Round: a sweater

I'm working on a new sweater pattern, going about the construction differently -- working from the bottom up, and starting with sleeves. I needed a new perspective on everything, I think. The recent bout of headaches, fatigue, and (irony-deficiency-induced?) illness left me on the edge of cranky. The only remedy was a new point of view.

Today I'm starting on the second sleeve, working in Woolstok cast iron. If the prototype goes well, I'll tweak it as an Actual Pattern and keep it in the repertoire.

It took about five hours of knitting to make the first sleeve. I have some driving and waiting time next week, so a portable project sounds Just Right.

Friday the 13th

Off to meet a friend for tea and talk about strategic partnerships.

I didn't make it to yoga this morning, and am still feeling pretty bruised, emotionally.
Yoga would have helped of course.
Rest and breathing will help.

There is the lease renewal this afternoon after the meeting, and then the evening opens up for reading, writing, walking, retreating. I'm looking forward to the weekend, perhaps a Weekend of Silence. I have been enjoying those immensely when they come my way.

The next Library school project meeting isn't until Sunday.

Happy Friday the 13th.
