Kristin has started her Infinity scarf. Below is a picture of how far she has gotten. She is doing a fantastic job. I really like how it is turning out, even though there isn't much to look at yet. Her tension is a little tight, but she'll get the hang of it. She's doing better than I did on my first project. (I remember making a sweater. The sleeves hung down to my knees because the stitches were so loose.) She has already mentioned that she wants to make something in garter stitch next. I had to squelch my excitement when she said that. Jumping up and doing a Happy Dance might have made her change her mind about becoming a knitter.
I finished the first sleeve of the Go Live Minimalist cardigan. I'm about 2 or 3 inches into the second sleeve. It is 13 inches of moss stitch before the armhole shaping. Pretty boring stuff. Multi-tasking is my plan for getting this done. Yesterday I knit while reading a book on my Kindle at lunch time. Today I think I'll ride our exercise bike while I knit. It is a recumbant bike so I'll manage without getting my yarn tangled in the peddles.
Blake mentioned the other day that he wants to make a blanket over the summer. He wants to learn how to sew. I have plenty of fabric downstairs for him. We'll have to dig through it to find some to use in a patchwork quilt.
