You may be surprised to discover (I know I was) that I kept to my word and started working on Halcyon again!  Truth be told, after I finished the Retro Rib socks I had been avoiding it.  I didn’t want the hassle of trying to remember where I was in the pattern – you know that whole word problem thing!  I am using a magnet board to read the chart, but after sitting around for months, I didn’t trust that the magnets would still be on the correct line.

I also did away with my cable needle.  I am doing some variation of cabling without a cable needle – and it has really sped things up!  Yesterday I got 15 rows done.  This is a land speed record for me and this pattern.

It is a busy week here at Chez Swine:

• Vicki on Thursday
• Brother and SiL on Friday
• Daughter #1’s prom on Friday
• Graduation on Sunday
• Party with about 45 guests Sunday evening

guess I should quit blogging and get to work cleaning, shopping and cooking …..
