Chamo-along

Becky has decided to knit Chamomile with me, so we have our own little knit-along. If anyone would like to join, I’ll be happy to start up a knit-along with buttons and all. I’m hoping we can start next week, but if I get more people that are interested we may start a little later to allow folks to get the pattern and yarn. I’m looking forward to knitting this with her.

Also, I cheated and started my Booga Bag. I’ve finished the bottom and have started on the “wall” of the bag. I am really liking the color I chose and the stripes it is making. I can’t wait to get it done and felt it. I hope to work on it some tonight. I think I can get it done in a few days. Then I’ll post pics of my progress.

And yes, I FINALLY started on the shaping of Sigma. Hurray! I’ve only done about 8 rows into the back, but at least I’ve made it. It doesn’t seem so daunting now. I will definitely be working on it hard-core this weekend. I was getting really frustrated last night trying to purl. I felt so clumsy and couldn’t figure out a way to hold the yarn. Then I tried putting it around my neck and it seemed to go much better and quicker. So I will be purling around the neck from now on. I just don’t know what I’ll do when I have to do ribbing on Chamomile. I couldn’t get a grip on the yarn with either hand. Any suggestions on what I could try? I sort of feel silly holding the yarn around my neck, but last night it was the only way.
