this week, I’ve been taking 4 projects with me for my bus knitting. (I may be insane.)

the HP bookscarf has been living (forgotten) in the tote. no progress on that in ages. Vintage Velvet still lives in the tote as well, though progress on that has stalled, since two new projects have been added this week: the cowl and Twist.

the cowl is finished, except for the seaming up. I really should get that done since it’s been freezing (or really close to it) this week.

I’ve also been actively working on Twist on the bus, though it doesn’t really seem like it. I’ve finally finished the ribbing today and am about to start cabling. woohoo!

other than that, not much else has been going on. I’m thinking NaKniSweMo may have been a not-so-great idea. I fear the holiday knitting is suffering. (then again, it was suffering before too. bugger, I really need to get back to that.)

apologies for lack of photo progress. life is going chaotic right now.

after much hemming & hawing, I joined.
I’ve decided to knit Twist. I bought the pattern and swatched ages ago.

I cast on on Saturday, got distracted on Sunday (FO post on that coming soon), and today continued to work my way through the ribbing. I think I got 2 1/2 rows done on the bus this morning. this could take a while…

I’m planning to try cabling without a needle on this project.

teaching…

a (small) group of people at work have asked me to show them how to knit.
I’m thinking of just having them make a practice square to start out with.

now for the questions…
* teach them knit & purl in the first session, or see how they get on and wing it?
* any sites you’d recommend (beyond knittinghelp.com) in case they have questions and I’m not around?
