Almost two years ago one of my friends died unexpectedly.  Because they live a bit away and couldn't help I made this shawl for his wife (who is also a friend).   I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about it.

On podcast day I listened to Knitabulls (her Rhinebeck recap), The Fat Squirrel Speaks and old episodes of Knitting Pipeline.  Rhinebeck sounds like so much fun I'd love to go some year but I'm not holding my breath,  I do want to go to the Pipeliner retreat next year.  It will be in March and in addition to Paula, Amy Beth (Fat Squirrel) and Steve (Dramatic Knits) might be there.  They have both attended in the past. 

Wile I was listening I got a lot of work done on my sweater.  It's so heavy it could almost be a jacket.  I really like it so far and I hope it turns out well because then I'll make another one.  I put the stitches for the sleeves on the stitch holders and started on the first sleeve.  I made the cuff longer but am following the directions exactly.  Once I finish the first leaf patter I will stat adding stitches so my arm will fit.  I have seen other people say the sleeves are small so I will keep an eye on that.

Today is Kdrama day.  I plan to watch Running Man all day.  Wile I do I'll decide on what drama to watch next.  I think I may take a small break from kdrama and watch some anime.  We'll see.

The project for today is the Hitchhiker.  At last count I was up to 21 "teeth."  It's is a really easy pattern that is about 75-90% knit stitch.  It's something simple I can read wile I do it. I'm going to try really hard not to cast anything new on till I finish something else like one of my may UFO's (unfinished objects).  I really want to make a striped sock for me but the needles are in my daughter's sock so I'll have to finish that first.

Have a safe Halloween.
