I am back...
Oct. 23rd, 2024 05:02 pm ...back to zero. I was knitting along yesterday evening, when I finally decided to finally measure the width of the cardigan-coat. Five minutes later I was unravelling. I do not know how I thought I´d need 100 stitches when eighty is more than enough. And yes, I have done a gauge! Grrr! All the work for nothing, because I miscalculated! I seriously pondered to resign and donate te wool to the next flea market. It was hubby who encouraged me to carry on, even searched for another pair of needles number seven. Maybe he thinks that while knitting I´d forget about using my car. Anyway, I started with the front parts now (hence the second pair of needles)- easier to handle! I am contemplating to do the back in two halves I will stitch together. It´s so much quicker when one does not have to juggle with balls of wool!Yet I was off in the late morning- I was in need of some crafting utensils. Well, I am still in need of them, because none of the two shops I visited had what I wanted. Will go to the Amazon website this evening and ask hubby to place an order for me. He´s the one with Amazon Prime! I will still have to organise my Amazon account, if I want to send in an order, especially for e-books. At the moment I have a few unread books, which I always read on my old tablet PC, because there´s the old, not updated kindle app on it, the one I like. On the new tablet there´s the shiny new one I greatly dislike.
When I came back home from my shopping spree- I might not have found what I was looking for, but there´s always things one does not need but buys anyway- I hardly believed my eyes: hubby has decorated for Halloween, and he has done a good job! The only problem was that he immediately hung up the door wreath with the wichtel I bought for Christmas. This one will have to wait a few weeks, until it´s time to show and not shine, but glow (battery-operated!). I will have to take pictures the next days, when there´s more light from outside (photoflash on my mobile always ends with poor results). Today weather is cool and very grey.
That´s what I saw at five in the afternoon, when looking out of the window:
