I’m happy to join Kat and the Unravelers today with more Fire on the Mountain.
That's the name of this STR colorway and I'm enjoying working on it.
But I also made myself work some more on the last dishtowel. It's proving to be just what I was afraid of, sloggier and sloggier. I've tried rewarding myself every eight rows with a Hershey's kiss, but I'm afraid the rewards are going to have to get bigger. A peanut butter cup? A grilled cheese sandwich? A scoop of ice cream with chocolate sauce and peanuts? Time will tell ...
What are you making this Wednesday in early November?
Fire on the mountain? That's a great name for the yarn and HH. Perhaps the dishtowel should be put away for a while, Bonny. I am making watercolor assignments, but I don't know how long that will last. Actually, I am making a very small celebration of one at my house, and you know why!
ReplyDeleteFire on the Mountain is knitting up beautifully in your Hitchhiker! I always thought that colorway was a bit too busy for socks, but it's perfection in your shawl. You have my permission to take a break from the dishtowel if it's too much of a slog, even with the chocolate rewards. You've already knit quite a lot of them! I've got half a sleeve left on my sweater, but I finished up a scrappy charity hat last night while watching election returns and started another. This new one is three strands of fingering held together, so I expect it to go quickly!
