On Friday afternoon, a friend asked me if I could make a pair of men's fingerless gloves to take with her on holiday to give as a gift. Sure. There was just one problem - she's leaving early on Tuesday morning. Mmm, I'll do my best.
I had a bobbin full of wool on my spinning wheel that was spun but not plied. I plied it on Friday evening and washed the one and a half skeins. It was tempting to start knitting without washing them, but washing is part of the process and can't be skipped. We were going out to lunch on Saturday, so that gave time for the wool to dry. I started knitting on Saturday evening, did the bulk of the work yesterday and finished off this morning. Phew. They're ready to be delivered and packed.
I don't think I could pull off a project that quickly. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteWell done. I hate that sort of pressure.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly takes away some of the pleasure of knitting.
