Jennifer: your letter is A.

*****

I think I once said before that one reason I liked knitting (and quilting, and other craft things like that) was that you could work on a project for a while, put it aside, and (as long as you kept decent notes on where you were in it), you could come back to it:



"If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you..."

I started thinking about the Hiawatha shawl last night - I put it aside when the edging got so tedious that I couldn't imagine finishing it. But last night I felt like working on it again.

I almost finished the second short side edging (there is just one long side left after this). I think I'm going to try to work on this - at least a little - until I get it done. (The long-side edging, because of how it's knit on, is less tedious to do than the short-side edgings).

The shawl looks very yellow in that photo; it's the fluorescent bulbs again. Perhaps eventually a digital camera maker will make a camera that's able to correct for that.

(I'm thinking about getting another - smaller - digital camera. Preferably one with a good macro lens, so I could take it out in the field and photograph flowers and stuff without them going all blurry. I like the Mavica but (a) it's huuuuuuge and (b) it's not great at super-close-up.)
