Weasley progress and some quick links

Ah, what is that a picture of, over on the left!? It is a tiny half-a-stitch, not caught up and knit with. It is a split,
half-dropped stitch, 6 inches from the top of Elaine's sweater. Grr. (Click to get the big picture and the true horror of this.) It leads to this next picture, the ladder down the 6 inches to pick up the strand. But, never mind, the front and back are now done, and if not perfect, at least finished. I forgot to knit in the serif on the top of the E, and had to duplicate stitch it in. Want a picture of that, too? Okay, here you go.

Now I am taking a bit of a break from plain tweedy stocking stitch to make an elaborate tweedy hat before going back to Arthur's Weasley. I want the two kids to get their finished sweaters at about the same time, so I have to do a bit on each.

And in the fun and games department:
Here's a cartoon about the joys of receiving gifts of yarn, especially Koigu! I've only ever fondled it in the shops, but never actually knit anything with it. Thanks to Liz for pointing that out!

And here's an article about the Renaissance Florence of knitting, ol' Toronto! Funny, I used to knit there in the Middle Ages, I guess.

Happy Tuesday to you all.
