Yesterday was the dreaded time change, and I must admit that much as I hate it, it's a great relief to not have to wake up the first Monday morning and get out of the house at 5:00. It's bad enough that Sheila is on her way to Egypt, leaving me stranded by myself in the shop. We "celebrated" yesterday with the kickoff of the Portuguese, fair isle knitalong. We did all manage to get cast on, and some of us did a little ribbing. (Me included, though I've since changed my mind and will be tinking the whole thing. I think it's going to be great fun, though, and I welcome the challenge. Maybe next time we will have something to take pictures of.

The casting on fever has been out of control the past few days. My latest is the cover sweater from Knit'n'Style made from the Blue Ridge silk that has been tormenting me since it arrived. I know it's naughty to be knitting so many things at once, but it sure is fun!
