Knitting in the Hotel

I think I could live in a hotel. I would keep my house and sewing room for storage but I would stay in the hotel where someone else vacuumed and made the bed and cleaned the toilet and I could turn the air conditioner down so I could sleep under lots of quilts and stay cool.

I didn’t knit on Nicole’s sweater while at their house because it required counting and paying attention so that’s what I worked on in the hotel last night. The above photo is what it looked like when I started.

Below is what it looked like when I put it away for the night.

It may not look like much but the sleeves are split off and the third color has been added.

Here’s why I guess I shouldn’t live in a hotel . . besides the fact that I know Vince would say it costs too much money!  🙂  First, I didn’t have any scissors with me.  I didn’t bring everything in from the car and I was too chicken to go out to the parking lot at midnight so I had to use fingernail clippers from my makeup bag to cut the yarn. And, I didn’t have a big needle or a crochet hook in the room so I had to use tweezers to feed the waste yarn through the sleeve stitches. Everything I need on a routine basis would not fit in a hotel room I suppose.

This is the Blue Sand Cardigan and I think it’s going to be really pretty!
