Devotion
I have been unwavering in my devotion to Liberty of late. After finishing up the second front piece, I packed my knitting bag for an extended trip to Sleeve Island. I was expecting to be sitting on the shore baking in the unrelenting sun for quite some time before I got a break from my labor, but Liberty has been exceptionally kind so far, and I find myself in posession of a first finished sleeve.
Sometimes sleeves seem to go on forever, other times they seem to sail by. This one hardly seemed to take me any time at all once I started to get serious about it. I think maybe it had to do with the burst of chilly weather we got this weekend that reminded me that there still might be a chance for me to wear Liberty once this year if I actually got busy and got the pieces knit and assembled. That and the fact that it has become apparent that I am not going to run out of yarn on this project, so I don't have to spend a lot of time fretting over that problem any more. It's kind of amazing how much time and energy I can expend being concerned about not having enough yarn.
I took a short breather to head to the Sleeve Island 7-11 to pick up some bottled water and a few snacks to tide me over as I work on the next sleeve. My return back to the mainland doesn't seem so far away any more.
Way to go! The sleeve looks great!
Don't forget the 7-11 hotdogs and nachos. Yum!
That's some mighty fine sleevage you have going on there!
Can you wing some of that motivation my way? :) That is a lovely sleeve! It's going to be a really pretty sweater.
Bright and fun!
If 7-11's still carry Slurpees, I want one.
Nice sleeve, delightful Dragon socks.
Huh...I seem to be just up the beach from you. There is boat on the other side of the island, right? Please?
You're making awesome progress on Liberty, I'm so impressed! It looks great and I'm so happy to hear you won't run out of yarn after all. Sometimes the worrying makes you crazy and you lose focus. At least you'll still have a bit of time to wear it. Just git 'er done! :-)
Ahoi matey!
Liberty's sleeve looks great, you'll be able to wear her soon.
