She really did explaiknit it well --

By the title I mean ExplaiKnit, a really great blog which I found in a little blog-hopping expidition today. She has a wonderful description (and some history) of stranded knitting there - and a previous post about graphing charts for knitting, as well. I really learned a lot by reading these!

I'm playing with my own version of the knitted owl chart - because my sinuses did let up some, but not all.

If I can get myself up to it - I hope to run a simple pillow cover through the sewing machine and, if I'm ambitious, a new set of door curtains for the dining room. However, these are probably just pipe dreams that will remind me get it done later ;o) I've been kind of planning to run those through the machine for MONTHS. Instead, I nicely put them away in the front room and forgot about them. Now, they sit there taunting me, in a mostly clean room. I'd take more pictures, but even 'cleaned,' it isn't a pretty sight.
