I wanted to go to Doyles with all of the cool kids, but I had an obligation that came first.
I wanted to start the Knitting Olympics with my Cascade 220 and the backpack, but had to rely on the hubby to pull the pattern, needles and yarn for me and bringing them tonight.
So, I didn't knit on the monkey backpack. But I am casting on now (no pictures of casting on, because they are boring), and will be swatching part of this night/early morning. By tomorrow I will have decided whether I am going to continue with my stash of Cascade 220 (the pattern actually calls for Lambs Pride Worsted, which I find to be a thicker yarn) as the pattern is written or if I will increase the size of the background to make the backpack a little larger.
(Knitting pictures tomorrow, because I believe I will have something finished that is not either the monkey backpack nor any other Olympic-related knitting... umm, I must be extra stupid to be knitting projects that aren't the Olympic ones right now).
