Saturday in D.C.

Spent a wonderful day with my Hubby in D.C. yesterday.  We started at the Jefferson Memorial and walked all the way down to the Lincoln Memorial, seeing the sights along the path.  I love living this close to the nation's capital.

Rockin' the Regatta

Smile

Completely done with the Regatta Tee.  I am immensely happy with it.  Pics to follow in the next few days.  :)

Blocked and drying

Best news of all from yesterday:  Hubby came home from his site trip.  :)  Second best news is that I soaked my Regatta Tee and blocked it to dry.  Checked on it this morning and it seems to be a bit drier, but this might take a day or two.  This weekend it will be finished for sure!

The lace is my favorite part



The shoulder stitches are live, just waiting to be Kitchener'ed.



2,829

When I say that I have 22 rows left to knit, it doesn't sound like much, does it?  Nah, not really, and then actually, it's 23 rows, because row 23 is the bind off row.  But.......

23 rows X 123 stitches per row = 2,829 stitches.

That's how many individual stitches I knitted tonight.  I'm tired, my hands ache a bit, but it's done.  The Regatta Tee is off the needles.  Tomorrow night I will soak it and then block it.  :)

Not quite enough weekend...

...to finish the Regatta Tee.  However, it was long enough to complete the lace pattern, and now only 22 more rows of straight knitting and I can bind off the second piece.  Blocking after that, and assembling after that...

ARGH!  So close, so close.  :)

Finally!

The stripe pattern is finished, and now I can begin the lace.  So close I can taste it!!!
