Avoiding the Hubris Faeries

Now that 'I've finished Clue 2 - and spotted another error (did you see it there, on the right-hand side?) - I'm busily putting in a lifeline and getting ready for the next push.

In the meantime, my two "relaxing" knits are coming along nicely.

The most "relaxing" is the seraphim. I have reached a point of no return with this one. The die is cast, the gauge chosen, and no decisions need be made until I finish the main body and have to decide whether to add to the section or knit as originally written (If you haven't guessed, decisions and I are not the best of friends).





The Gale is still at the early decision stage. I'm happy with the swatch, but now I must decide whether to go with on gauge and looser than I like, to take the tighter version that makes for a better fabric, or to swatch with a still smaller needle and plan to add a pattern repeat or two width and length .... So much for relaxing! The yarn, though, is splendid; the photo in no way does it justice.




In the meantime, we've been watching the new versions of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Northanger Abbey, and Mansfield Park ....
