We don’t have a dining room. Well… we did. It was converted to an office years ago. You see, CB was really sweet to let me have the old office space for my shrine room. But, he really missed having a place to sit down and eat. So, recently he got this little table for the corner of the now office area. Kind of need something, right? He ordered table cloth. But looking at it, do you know what I am thinking? 
Our neighbor’s Halloween display.
But it might turn into another favorite knitting technique.
What a weekend. We had more people at the Kathina celebration at the temple this year. I had to wear an uniform. Guess they didn’t want me disappearing into the crowd hiding? Sorry. No pictures. I didn’t even take my camera. Hopefully someone will send me some later.
Now back to the torture. I am talking about two-color Double Knitting. I wanted a more relaxed knitting project to do at the same time as the Spider Queen. Exchequered featured on Knitty.com seemed to be a good choice. It will also be a holiday gift to CB.
I decided to learn how to carry both yarn with my left hand doing continental for speed. Let me tell you, it really felt like a torture at first. A great way to practice purling continental style, I thought. But using the middle finger to carry yarn instead of holding the needle made all the hand movements so very awkward! Plus, once in a while I had to purl with the yarn carried on the middle finger. THAT was very difficult. Luckily it was just a rough start. Double Knitting and I are slowly becoming good friends. My hands are beginning to find comfortable ways to work the needles and yarn. I think I may even be loving Double Knitting!
I joined a Double Knitting group on Ravelry. Wow! It opened my eyes to more DK possibilities! I will post a few links on my Tricks&Treats page soon to show you some amazing Double Knitting pieces that I found online.
Don’t worry. I am not going to ignore Spider Queen. 
Someone in the guild just shared this with the group. Wow! Don’t throw out old newspaper. Think recycle.
OK, you can’t see my whole face. But I like that title!
