Swatchmaster 3000
Gentle Readers, you may recall that a few posts back, I had taken it upon myself to make the sample swatches for my class at Madrona. I stand by the decision, as having these done for my students sets them up for success, and it's just a nice way to go about it. However, I will admit that it took much longer to get them then I expected. Partly that's because of my Math Issue, and partly it's because I think I'm superhuman, which I'm not. Don't tell my kids.
Here they are, completed, in all their swatchy glory. They remind me of my own private clone army, marching off to sacrifice themselves to the cause of The Steek.
It's an apt comparison, really. I always say we knitters will one day take over the world; so it's about time we had our own army, no?
I'm off to an ice skating competition with Lindsay for the weekend. I know I should take knitting or I will be very sad indeed, but after spending this morning marshaling the army, I may actually be temporarily knitted out. Impossible. Someone take my temperature and arrange for emergency cashmere therapy. STAT!
I must chuckle, the work you have put in..is so great, tiring, and physical..so take a break, your hands will love you..
Now a story of my daughter..she is a contemporary quilter..worked great guns on a special project, only to have awakened to a hand that was so very painful, she couldn't move it..cutting, cutting those sweet beautiful squares..took a tole..she has now been on full hand and arm rest for 5 days..talk about hard to take...also the help of BenGay!

I *hope* you took some knitting with you! You never know what might come up, and it is almost always better to deal with those unknowns when you have some knitting with you. (I can't believe you seriously considered not taking any knitting!!)
