Ouch!

I injured my right thumb at work and have been unable to knit much lately. Maybe my spring sweater will be done in time for fall.

Same Old World

The world has not changed.
It is no more evil
Than the world of our parents.
We do our best
And face each day with hope.
We grow our children
To take over
When our time is complete.
We pray our grandchildren
Will live in a better world.
It is no less
Than what our parents did.
Perhaps more…
At least, we face our sin
Instead of hiding it in the closet.

A Good Start

I have the yoke and about 1 1/2 inches of the bodice done on my spring sweater. It is knitting up fairly quickly, but I did have some issues with rowing on the yoke. I usualy knit in the round and forgot how much more difficult it is to maintain even tension when knitting flat. The rowing shows very little on the outside of the garment and I am hoping that I can fix it with blocking. If anyone has some advice on even tension while knitting flat, I would love to hear it!
