Eureka!

I have had a (rare) moment of clarity. In order to finish up small knitting projects, I must embark on a laaarge project. Suddenly little projects knit up like stink on a monkey. Perhaps you folks have noticed this effect in your own homes. Though I would image small and large are relative to each knitter.

I am very nearly finished Ken's socks and now that the toque's are done I'm making a little more progress on my Kauni. It is pretty much unanimous, I'll be knitting a matching toque for the mama (me), though I have to make Ken's first, he's been waiting the longest.

I had the pleasure of meeting Maureen Mason-Jamieson a few weeks ago at our guild meeting. (Did I write about this already?) I asked her about trims and edgings for sweaters. I am in no way a fan of ribbing on the edges of sweaters, Maureen agreed with my opinion, so it would appear that I am not alone. Here's what I learned, a designer tip as it were, use a provision cast on when you start a sweater and then you can decide on the edge that best suits the sweater after it's knit up. Is that not genius? Did you guys already know and not tell me? I will be adding a trims and edges books to my xmas list.
