I was asked to show my knitting to the local quilting guild on Saturday, which I duly did. I'm not sure anyone was really interested, but there you go. I stayed for the meeting and learnt that there's a whole world of quilting terminology that I know nothing about.
I'm making progress slowly on the sleeves of my cardigan. I had almost reached half way on the third row of boxes yesterday when I realised that I'd used the wrong colour for one diamond. If I'd gone much further, I'd probably have left it. With this many colours, would anyone notice? But the pattern is repetitive and one oddity could well catch the eye. Anyway, I undid several rows of one sleeve. I had a few moments of panic while unraveling - intarsia requires that threads be twisted at the change of colour, so they need to be untwisted when undoing. I corrected the mistake. Onward, onward.
