I was all prepared to start documenting some of the techniques I used in Ithilien Brocade Jacket, and then things got in the way.  Like the Atlantic Ocean.

Moonrise

I don’t think we’re in Kansas any more!  A conference in Myrtle Beach, SC has moved most of my good intentions straight to the back burner, but I think we’ll all survive the delay.  And yes, I AM attending conference sessions.  I have witnesses.

I am also getting some travel knitting done.  One sweater on circular needles for plane knitting, one sock on DPNs for hotel knitting.  (I have a horror of dropping a double-pointed needle on an airplane, losing it forever, and not even being able to knit what’s in my hands.)  The baby blanket that has a ‘due date’ deadline will be cast on as soon as I get back home.  I need uninterrupted time to focus on counting to 258, or whatever it is, correctly.  You know how that goes.

And now for today’s knitting content:
