Be careful what you wish for - you just might get it. I've always found that to be true. The good news is, I know have Thursday nights free. The bad news is, it's because a program I care about that I was co-facilitating was cancelled for lack of interest. I have to admit, though, I'm pretty relieved to have one weeknight free now.
And the program that was cancelled, while very worthwhile, was my least fun weeknight activity. My two knitting classes are going very well - especially the beginners. Every time I teach, the class has a different dynamic, and after a rather difficult group last time, this one is full of positive attitudes. Everyone seems to be in a good mood when it's time to go - and in fact, I have to remind them when it's time to go, which I hardly ever do in most of my classes. It's a great way to start my week every Monday!
In knitting news - the swan sweater is complete! But I'm a little disappointed with it. Drop-shoulder sweaters are so unflattering, and this one, though a modified drop shoulder so that it's a bit less fabric under the arms, has incredibly poufy sleeves. I did notice this as I was making the sleeves, but at that point it was too late to do anything about the corresponding long armholes. Scott assures me that it's a beautiful sweater, but I remain unconvinced that it will look beautiful on me. This is yet another lesson for me that I should 1) not knit drop shoulder sweaters for myself, and 2) always follow my instincts when I'm knitting something and I know it's not coming out right.
In any case, I will provide a picture so that you can weigh in on the poufy sleeves. But not just now, as my camera batteries need to be charged.
You may notice that I've deleted some blogs from my sidebar. I thought it should more accurately reflect what blogs I actually read, and I haven't been doing very much blog reading for a while. If I deleted your link, it doesn't mean I don't like you... I've just been limiting my blog reading to people I know in real life and very few others.
Have a good week everyone!
