I started the Black Shrug on last Wednesday night,May 24th, and I would like to finish it by Wednesday, May 31st. So I have 4 days to go. I’ve been knitting like a fiend on it and I’ve got almost 10 inches done with only 7 more inches till I can finish the sleeves and 12 more inches all in all to finish.
I’m using Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece in Cavern for it. So far the black has stained my needles and my hands, so I’m going to do a vinegar wash when I’m done. I was wondering if I should do an alum wash, but I’ll try the vinegar first.
The cotton is also a litle hard on my hands, so I have to keep buoying my spirits up with little cheers. “Work through the pain. You can do this!” is just one example.
At the finish line is a Vosges Fire bar waiting just for me.
