Each night I knit a few rows before I turn in. That's all I can do. It took three nights to finish the collar. Instead, it's been bows, and arrangements, seasonal priorities. As of last night, the knitting part of the Rhinebeck sweater is finally done.
What's left? Steaming and checking everything before weaving in the few ends, then sewing on the buttons.
This morning's truck was scheduled for 7. By quarter of, we were dressed, coffee'd and had pretty well warmed up enough to be off loading the boxes of plants. I sat down at my wheel to spin and watch for it to arrive. Ten minutes. The coopworth has been blended with a bit of colored merino. Must have been the influence of all the red ribbon. I felt like I wanted a tweed.

those 10 minutes here and there do add up. I was just talking to my daughter about “10 minutes” last night. We were discussing how when she was a baby I only had 10 minutes to get something done before she would fuss and cry. Amazing how much really did happen in those little blocks of time!
I’ve been fitting in about 10 minutes each morning. It adds up quickly!
10 minutes a day really does add up. I like that yarn you’re making.
Are you left handed? I’m excited to see Rhinebeck sweater!
Nice left-hand forward singles! Can’t wait to see the unveiling of your sweater and the requisite modeled shots!
I am so smiling. Beautiful yarn, left hand and all. I just got home, and do you think there is any knitting left in me?? There’s barely a blogpost. I’m running out of braindead blogposts.
10 minutes well spent…good for keeping your balance during hectic times.
left hand forward- such advantages esp. on the Charka or the Great!
Is that fiber as soft as it looks? And it looks gorgeous spun up, too.
It’s truly amazing what you can do, just 10 minutes at a time.
