Knitting in the dark
So today we drove to Canberra and back, and had coffee with lovely knitters and crocheters. It's a long trip to do, both ways, in one day though, so we're all stuffed, so this post will be short and sweet, with more tomorrow.
I just wanted to mention that halfway home, darkness fell, and I kept knitting. With black yarn, in the dark, totally blind.
Not even one dropped stitch, I was very proud of myself. I eventually had to stop, because the next row required increases, and I'm just not that good!
And my ball fell apart, so I had to rewind it by hand, by feel alone.
Mission accomplished!

Posted by: Olivia at October 5, 2008 05:04 PMVery clever! I have been fantasising about knitting in the cinema and the theatre lately. I have no excuses do I??
