Chapter Five: Friday Update 5.4.18
Happy Star Wars Day!
London's Heathrow Airport had this tongue-in-cheek sign posted today.
I love it that this fandom is etched into international daily life and culture.
So! On to knitting!
UPDATE: I frogged the Self-Important Socks. I think it's a perfectly nice pattern, but I didn't like the colors I chose. The off-white would look so much prettier as old fashioned bobby socks, or in a delicate lace pattern. The Jilly blue I had left over from a cowl is a beautiful and vibrant shade, and should be paired with something just as rich.
Here's what the designer's sock looks like:
You can see why I love them!
I plan to try this pattern again in the future.

WORKS IN PROGRESS
HITCHHIKER SHAWL
No picture today. It goes on and on and... It gets longer and longer without increasing in width much, so there's this long tail sort of pooling in your lap and down into the crevices of the chair that has to be dealt with, otherwise I love knitting it.
See my previous Knitting posts for photos and links.
ASHLEY CARDIGAN
It's been in hibernation but I'll get to it as soon as the Hitchhiker is done.

What a cute little sweater! What a great pattern! I truly believe its future owner will love it.
I really need a baby to model this. It's size 1 yr. but I think it could go to 18 mos. Know any little tykes that can pose nicely and look super cute on demand? No, I didn't think so. Neither do I.

This is a short post. My husband is home and it's pool time! I heard him put some beer in a bucket. I can't delay!
Next time I write I'll share with you a cool book my friend loaned me. It's about colorwork socks and it is presented in a unique and entertaining format.
Till next time...
