GGS – 68 days to go

On By wanderingcatyarns

I have been working fairly steadily on the great grey blob almost every night for the past week. So imagine my dismay when I picked it up yesterday to measure it, expecting to be able to start the ribbing… and it was only 3/4 of an inch longer than where I left it last week!!!! I still needed over two inches to start the ribbing.

I had other plans for the day, but I decided I needed to get to that ribbing – come hell or high water – so I plopped myself in my chair and got to it.

Knitting all day was not without its difficulties…

Difficulty Number One was eventually overcome (distracted by a noise Dave made in the kitchen… but he was soon replaced by Difficulty Number Two.

Eventually, that Difficulty was persuaded to move to a less obstructive position…

Of course, it wasn’t long before Difficulty Number One returned…

Eventually he settled in for a nap and I kept knitting… and knitting. Finally dinner time rolled around and I got up and measured my progress… so sure I would be at 18 inches!

#@%&!!!!!

Well…. maybe you’ll see some ribbing next week….

  1. First of all, I love your distractions. They just want to be with Mom. They are both so cute. And second, I feel your pain. That’s how I felt when I knit Dennis’s sweater. It took F-O-R-E-V-E-R. I would knit and knit and the measurement never seemed to change. Grrrr.
    Blessings,

    I only knit on mine when everyone is asleep for that very reason. The size of it makes it a target for critter butts. I had to rip out all the ribbing I had just finished. It was too floppy at the top. I had gone down too many sizes of needles too quickly and it was awful looking.
