Sleeted in

First bad weather we have had this winter. Got enough sleet to glaze everything with ice and keep me home from work today. Love it! Spent the day working on The Shuj's socks. Got past the heel of the first one hooray hooray! First successful traditional heel I've done in 20 years! Slowly the fingers are remembering their skill.

Spent yesterday doing a long swatch of samples, looking for the patterns that will go into the Sir Walter gauntlets. So many patterns, so little time... Brioche stitch is so cool. With the ends of the sample held in with the other patterns, it puffed out like a Renaissance sleeve. Don't know if I can use it in the gauntlets, but I have it captured for another day.

So for two days I have been knitting my brains out and feel great! After so many years maybe, just maybe I have found the work that I'm supposed to be doing. The world has yet to beat a path to my door...or even my blog, but a learning curve has to start somewhere.
