Tonight at the S&B, I was working on a project which involved two-handed two color Fair Isle knitting. This meant I had to actually watch my hands a fair amount, since I’m not used to knitting left-handed, let alone stranding as I go.<\/p>\n
I did this for a pretty good stretch, then looked up and realized that everything was blurry. Yes, apparently if I strain them, my eyes now require many long seconds to refocus from close to far away. From here, it’s just one long decline into bifocals and “But the light IS on, Granny Tvini.”<\/p>\n
Up side: if I go blind, maybe I can get away with feeling the faces of the hotties. Yeah, that’s it.<\/p>\n
The project I was working on, though, is looking pretty good. There’s a lot of stranding, so it’s not as elastic in one sizable portion, but I think the effect will be worth it. I’ll post it up after it’s gone to its recipient. That may take a while, though, as a) I’m not going to work on it for more than a row at a time without a significant break for my vision, and b) I’ve just realized that I have one less ball of this yarn than I thought I did. I’ll have to order more from somewhere and hope I can find the same dye lot. Hey, sleeves are overrated anyway.<\/p>\n
