I’m working on the Squares Jacket again. It was put aside in favour of the Jaywalker socks, which were put aside for sanity-restoring plain sock knitting – the Miracle socks. I was tempted to take the jacket to Canberra with me, but since I’m working 12 strands of colour for each row and have to stop and untangle them every four rows it isn’t exactly a good travel project.

Sock knitting makes my hands hurt after a few hours, so a few days ago I picked up the jacket again. We have a progress shot:

I just realised that I haven’t taken any photos of this jacket yet. Just the yarn and the ‘plan’. It took quite a bit of fiddling in Photoshop to get the colours right. Aqua is a difficult colour to get right in RGB.

Yesterday the beau and I had to drive over to my house so we could use the washing machine. I spent hours knitting the jacket while waiting for four loads to run through, so by last night I wanted something else to work on. I knit the toe of the second Miracle Sock while watching the Akira Kurasawa movie Sanjuro – took me two hours to knit a toe because I kept having to stop to read the subtitles!
