Craft On: New Beginnings
I finally got a really good start on the baptismal gown. It wasn't behaving as I liked, so I ripped it out and restarted it. I think there is an error in the pattern on the hem, but I cannot find any notes from other knitters or errata. The first eyelet in the repeat does not line up properly on subsequent rounds, and I think if the K3 were switched with the K4, it would, but I also don't want to undo six rounds. So, I am trying to decide if I should continue to the end of this section to rip it out and re-do it, or if I should rip now. Because we know that, in the end, I am going to rip it out and do it again.
I read the latest Crime with the Classics book, Death With Dostoevsky. Reed College, which became Bede College, is now Reed College again. I do not know what she was thinking. I did figure out who was behind the murder and why pretty early on, too.
Today, a quotation from The Diary of a Country Priest came up which reminded me that I have had that book on my shelf for years, and still haven't read it all. So, I picked it up, and I am really enjoying it. We need more priests like him. Also, I had been reading a bit in Once Upon a Wardrobe and did some more of that, with a few of the kids. We are just about finished with it. It is a really good story. Not a great work, but a good story, that is perfect for anyone who loves Narnia or C.S. Lewis. It was touching, though it took a few chapters to really get into the groove with it.
Linking to Unraveled Wednesday.
