Wool & Words

Ann, I promise, as soon as those Pixies show themselves, I'll send one your way!

The knitting continues apace on the Nymph Pi. At this point I'm feeling the truth of the old fable's moral--"slow and steady wins the race." I've reached the tortoise part of the knitting, the hare left behind as the stitches increased to 576 around. The yarn (Brown Sheep Cotton Fine) feels divine on my fingers, and the strange pouchy shape of the shawl gives the whole shawl a chrysalis effect; I can't wait to finish this baby and block 'er so that she can be a beautiful blue butterfly.

But enough about that. My time in Louisiana is winding down, and I've finally managed to set a KIP date for myself in the area. My youngest brother's girlfriend, Mindy, is home visiting her family, so she and I are going to grab a cuppa and our needles this afternoon. Pics to follow!
