cey & i: fresh copy

there comes a time when

so much is scribbled out and written in

that you need to just print a whole new chart to clear your head.

at least that’s what happens to me.IMG_6476crop2despite all the ‘3 steps forward and 2 steps back’ over this last design

i have cast on and am all forward motion now.

still anticipating a tangent, or two,

but it’s a good start.

having to chart this one

and longing to be mobile, i have once again

turned to my new knitter’s pride magna pattern holder.

i’m finding that i so prefer this to all the other

more awkward ways i’ve tried to keep track on charts before.

highlighters, highlighter tape and just crossing out

IMG_6471are frustrating compared

to the simplicity

of moving the magnetic strip

to wherever i am

at any given moment.

steady on.

me & the magma,

& my minnow merino,

and these square

‘symfonie cubics’ needles

are going to be best buds

for the next couple of weeks give or take a little,

and i’m chomping at the bit to go, go, go.

chronicling my collaboration with classic elite yarns on

an indie collection.  all posts tagged with ‘artistic differences‘ and titled ‘cey & i‘.)

have holder, will travel

it’s beautiful outside.

well, beautiful to this new englander.

it feels like early fall, a bit early i admit

but since spring and fall are my very favorites so

it’s all good with me.

the kids want to play outside

(i’m all for this) and i want to watch.

best of both worlds would be to watch and knit,

but i’ve written a new chart to test out and

there’s a breeze.

not a good combo that

normally would change my plans.

that is until i acquired this magma pattern holder from knitter’s pride.IMG_5715the smaller size fits my half page, the magnets keep it still and

suddenly i’m portable!

 this is so great. now i’ve got my sights set

on the larger sized one.

think of all the places i could go with that one.
