Wow, this whole blogging every day for the month of November thing is starting to wear on me. As mouthy as I am, I just don't have that much to say. While I do knit as much as possible each & every day, there isn't always enough progress made on a project to bother photographing it. And since I knit as much as humanly possible each & every day, my house is a disaster so you don't want to see pictures of what I'm cooking. Besides, I'm not cooking, I'm knitting.
So, yes, I'm making progress on the Flying Monkeys cowl but not enough to bother photographing. So far, it's about 5 inches tall and looks like it's measuring 22 inches in circumference. A far cry from the intended 28 inches but considering I didn't do any kind of gauge swatching & had never knit with this yarn before, I just for no reason decided I'd get two stitches less per inch than the yarn's band said I'd get and, the knitted fabric is a ribbed pattern and VERY stretchy.... I'm happy with it. Besides, 28 inches may have been too loose around the neck for this stitch pattern AND, since the cowl won't be as big around, I may have enough yarn to knit a pair of fingerless mitts to match. Now, that's exciting!
But back to blogging every day in November. The reason behind blogging every day is to state what I'm thankful for each day. Besides being thankful that the month is quickly coming to an end & I can stop posting every day, and besides being thankful that it did stop raining before we had to leave for drivers' ed last night, I am quite thankful for all my Facebook followers. To show my appreciation, there's a coupon code there for 25% off your entire purchase from my Etsy shop, Jeannie Gray Knits. So, if you've already Liked my Facebook page, thank you! It means the world to me. If you haven't, go check it out here to get the coupon.
Meanwhile, I'm going back to crazed Flying Monkey knitting. It would be so much fun to finish the cowl today & be able to wear it tomorrow.
