Kind of a slow day today. I think I found a few cold viruses somewhere and now they don't want to go back where they came from. IG has done a number of things to make my life better. One of them is giving me a connection to our computer system that allows me to work from home. So I nursed my cold at home today while still getting some work accomplished.

After discovering that my Debbie Bliss project was a little bigger than it should have been, I ripped it all out and decided to go and spend some more time really learning how to knit Continental, and develop some good tensioning skills I looked at the English instructions but I just couldn't wrap my brain around them.

So now I've started yet another project so that I can practice knitting without throwing my yarn -- a felted handbag made out of Cascade 220 -- the "Hold-it-All" Handbag from Wool You Order. I figured this would be a good project because it requires a looser tension, and the felting will probably cover up some of my tensioning problems. So far, so good, although I am still having difficulty making the yarn move over my left hand well. I guess this will just take time.
