Hack Hack Hack
I've coughed so much today I think my throat is bruised. I won't be suprised if I have an aneurysm from it. I am getting a heck of an ab workout though.Now on to more important topics. I'm trying to figure out the straps for Red's top. I pulled out the old knitting knobby and tried to make enough knitted tubing because I thought that would be the perfect size and texture. And you know what? It is! Sadly though it takes about an hour to make an inch of the tubing on the knitting knobby so I threw in the towel after I got this far.
Here's what it looks like up close:
I think I will end up using this crocheted strip as the straps, with a little silver elastic cord threaded through it:
It's what I've always called triple crochet stitch, but whether or not that is what it really is called is another issue altogether. It'll work just fine for this purpose though.
And guess what? As usual, I'm up well past my bedtime. I'm going to go to bed, and get rested for the big 3-day weekend coming up. I have no real plans other than going out to dinner and a party in San Francisco tomorrow night, and trying to organize the chaos that is reigning in my knitting room. And perhaps even do some knitting. And recovering from the last vestiges of this rotten disease. Sleep tight!
