Insanity!

What a crazy week! Got to meet up with an online friend for lunch on Monday - had a great time getting to talk and spend time together. That was the end of my peaceful week. Since Tuesday I worked over 37 hours - yep, in just 4 days...

Anyhow, that's over. Have gotten a few rows of shawl done here and there while waiting on files to download. Tonight I took up a new project. At the OAKs group tomorrow, we're expecting a new knitter (she dropped in last week and said she'd be back). Therefore, she is in need of a pattern to get started with. Another knitter had previously developed a sampler that teaches lots of great knitting skills. Tonight I knit the sampler, to see how it was written, and what it turned into. I think I've figured out how to make the sampler into a small hand purse! It will need a couple of minor changes, but they won't alter the fundamental learnings of the piece. Will confer with a couple of other people tomorrow, then re-write the pattern, and perhaps test it out on our newbie!

I'll let you know how it goes, and perhaps knit a full scale sample soon!
