right front

Here’s the right front of Trellis. (See the little button hole in the right corner.) The orange is a reminder that I need to get some Vitamin C (or maybe it’s a knitting still life).
putting in some time

Last night I put in a couple of good hours on Trellis. Here’s the back and left front completed. I think I’ll be able to get more done tonight as well. I have no errands to run, no cleaning to do, no pressing obligations (except for some holiday knitting that I keep on putting off!). I’ve got only one thing on my mind and that’s to work on Trellis.

Sun Salutations are traditionally performed in the early hours of the morning, but most days I do a set of 5 in the evening prior to knitting and then sleeping. The specific inhale and exhale for each movement is refreshing and calming. I was excited to see in the December 2005 issue of Yoga Journal a picture of Cyndi Lee, founder of OM Yoga, knitting! She says, “Knitting is definitely a practice in being mindful.”

This pattern has great texture and the cables really pop with the light colored yarn. (I’m sure you can see a few mistakes I made in the beginning, having to do with the left twist.)

snow & trellis

The first snowfall of the season.
I’m marking the occasion by starting Trellis. The yarn, despite its cotton content, looks a lot like the periwinkle sky today.
