I remember years when the holidays were so busy that time vanished before your eyes. This year for me ... the holidays took their time going by. They were more exhausting with less to do. I suppose it's partly because I was under the weather with a cold, but also partly the whole living alone thing. With the cold I didn't get any knitting done for a while... It' snot a good idea, you know ... knitting with a cold.
Christmas was a quiet day at my home. I had my mum over to visit; we enjoyed Christmas TV specials and a small Christmas dinner.
As for project progress, I've completed a 2" seed stitch border around both front edges and the bottom of the cardigan and have finished a sleeve. The border and the sleeve each took one ball of yarn. Now it's one sleeve and a large ribbed collar to go... then onto Blocking it.
Speaking of the sleeve, I got to try a few new techniques including knitting in the round with only three needles and magic loop (video courtesy of knittinghelp.com).
If anyone reading has any articles on blocking I'd love to hear about them in the comments as I've never done it before and would greatly appreciate any and all help!
