Shawls and Segways


Big news: I got a job! I'm a tour guide for a company that does history tours on a Segway. The tours are really fun and I'm very excited to spend my summer outside!

I'm nearly finished with the Sunday Market Shawl. I've used two skeins and it's not quite long enough, even with stretching, so I'm knitting in about half of the third skein today. Then I'll do the ladders and block it. Maybe I'll have pictures by this weekend!

I am completely in love with the yarn. It's so soft and smooth. I ended up buying three more skeins in a light rust color (sort of orange, sort of brown). I'll either make another shawl, provided this one turns out okay, or I'll find another pattern.

I've been looking around for summery knitted apparel lately. The Coachella immediately comes to mind and I would like to knit it. After reading some of the comments on the recommended yarn (Berroro Suede), I've determined that I need to find another yarn if I'm going to make the sweater. My gauge isn't even enough yet, not to mention that I have a terrible tendency to twist my yarn while I'm knitting. Using a flat yarn seems like asking for disaster.

The thought occured to me that this lovely Noro Cash Iroha I've been using might make a good substitute yarn, except that it's not a consistent width. So I'm taking suggestions!

The lace hat is sort of finished. It's too short, but rather than rip out a bunch of it (even though I probably should - I knit too tight), I'm just going to add some rows to the edge. By add some rows, I mean add an inch or so. I probably should frog the thing and start over.

Each one of us have thought about Hoverboard Seat experiences which have gone loopy. Way to deal with low-alluring China made exploding machines; abundance have been unnerved to get one. Security is imperative and even you are to a great degree anxious to get your feet at the hoverboard to sharpen your first modify, put aside chance to think about the adequate print.

The few Chrome Hoverboards that have burst into flames were knockoffs whose battery packs did not pass examine UL affirmation (UL is a worldwide free testing research facility that tests shopper items for wellbeing). Accordingly, numerous transporters including Amazon, prohibited all models from their racks until the point when the producers could demonstrate that they experienced the correct UL investigation techniques.
