Mindless Knitting
Yesterday, Mike and I went to see Mean Girls in order to use up the $12 movie coupon that was expiring at the end of the month. The comedy was still fresh, even though I've already seen it. I wanted some mindless knitting while we watched the movie, so I picked up the red yarns I bought for Sara early in the month. During the movie, using just the Great Adirondack Company Merino Superwash, I knit up a couple of garter stitch rows then started some seed stitch. It looked really good on US10s with 17 stitches.
Tonight, I brought the knitting with me to SNB NY and spent most of the time in transit and at the meeting on it. I added the Knit One Crochet Too yarn to it, hoping it wouldn't affect gauge. Alas, it did. So, I plan on ripping up the work I did yesterday and binding off the end, so it looks like I started with the glittery yarn from the beginning.
I'd say I'm about halfway done. Not bad for about four hours of knitting. I love the glitter bits in it.
It just shimmers lovely in the light. The seed stitch not only shows off the color changes in the Merino, but the ridges in the stitch allows the glitter bits to pop up and out from it. I think I'll need to make up one of these for myself in future.
