That is correct! .32 miles to knit and I break the 5 mile mark on my KnitMeter! I’m still not sure I’ll make it, but we are in the home stretch. I must confess, I’m a little nervous I’ll finish at like, 4.98 miles or something. Never been much good at math.
The Punta Merisoft cowl, hat and mittens that started out as Two Drunkards wound up as seeded rib, thanks to the talented “Smariek Knits“. I’ve left the cables on the mittens, but frankly, those crazy-complicated twisty lines were giving me seizures. In fact, I found that the cables did not give the cowl or the hat enough of the slouchy stretch that I wanted. Though I have knitted each of these pieces at least twice, I’ve taken the high road and only logged the mileage once 🙂 Man, they are taking FOR-ever to dry.
Bet I can finish these cute little cashmere gloves today! This is a great vintage pattern with really pretty results and are surprisingly easy to knit. There is a lovely, leaf-like edging that I am sure I’ll knit again.
I had this crazy idea that I would actually leave the house today but…
…crazy right? You can’t see it but just beyond the trees is a road. Sadly, it is still untouched by a snow plow.
About an hour ago, I was attempting to do the math…miles vs. hours. The equation looks something like this: .32 miles/61.75 hours. I figured I should reserve some of the hours for sleeping and eating. I thought about it and began to lament. No way I was getting the Birthday Cardi done. It looked like I’d make 4.86. Carl asked “What can you knock out real quick?” Well! What a question!
I’ve been wanting these fingerless gloves from Vogue Knitting for quite some time. I’m thinking I could knit ’em up quick with the Drops Alpaca unravelled from the Bower Cardigan I’ll never finish. One step forward, two steps back.

You are a knitting machine! The “vintage pattern” gloves are lovely. You are now getting a lot of snow. We have had a lot for a couple of months already.

I went to the U of A in Edmonton back in the 80’s and I remember the snow out there! Where are you in Alberta, Betty? I haven’t seen snow in about 12 years after a nice long hiatus in New Orleans. It’s a little weird at first…I’ve forgotten how to drive :0

Good Luck!!! I hope that you can do it. Well, I say hope, but I know that you can. Knit like the wind. Avoid sleep. And eating. you’ve got like two days, but I still think that it’s do able. That’s considering you don’t do much else. You can totally do it.

Thanks, Garret! Coming from you, that means a lot. I know how you love a good Marathon Knit 😀
