Entrelac? Don’t start

Last year during my knitting vacation I followed a workshop on Entrelac. That was really fun and ever since I’ve been thinking about making Lady Eleanor (Ravelry link). Last month the madness won from my sanity and after careful research on Ravelry I ordered yarn. The yarn arrived Saturday. Of course I had to cast on and I haven’t stopped since. This is really addictive.
I’ve been cast free for about a week and a half eventhough the fracture hasn’t healed. Yesterday I made a wrong move and I’m back home. At least I can work from home, but after a while this gets old. I really need to hide my knitting now. Well . . . it’s been next to my laptop the whole day. Knit a rectangle, solve a problem. Working at home may not be so bad after all.

Nephew T. is mad about dogs. At his grandparents house he keeps picking up the picture of their dog who has passed away and shows it to everyone. The day I thought my stairs were shorter than they are, I bought a few animals at a department store, orders of grandma. There were two dogs and one has been his favorite. So when I saw this pattern (Ravelry link) I went to work. Now I have a basket with bodyparts. I only have to put him together. I think my brother will be visiting Mom this Sunday, I’ll give it to T. then.

One more week of this cast. Sigh.
