Craft On: Dromedary
There was no chance for blocking this week, and I'm still not sure about the increases on this. So, I finished all but the thumb, bound off, and I am working a second with a different set of increases. If that looks more like how I like, then I will rip back and re-do this one, but if not, I will make the increases on the second like this first, and keep moving. After the bustle of this week, maybe even this weekend, I hope to get a chance to block the first mitt and maybe even a couple other pieces that are still waiting.
We are now more than halfway through Sense and Sensibility, and have gotten to the exciting parts. I'm still reading Hercule Poirot: The Complete Short Stories, and finished The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Same sense, that the story is good when the author can get out of the way. She has great imagination, but either is unable or refuses to put herself in that time frame. It affects what she write, how she writes, her diction and syntax, and detracts from her good ideas.
