Desperately trying to find time for anything but socks



Which naturally makes me cast on shawls.
This laceweight Wollmeise versus Evelyn Clark's Leaf Lace pattern is beautiful, time consuming and .. confusing.
I knitted and knitted and knitted, but did not see any progress, so I thought I could use a scale to measure the progress. After 6 pattern repeats my scale told me 18 grams. After 4 new pattern repeats and no visible growth I felt the need for some comfort and took out the scale again, but this time it was 6 grams! What happened?


No better way to get rid of frustration than to play. Here trying to balance with my newest socks (Mountain Color hand painted mohair/wool mix) on a dangerously rocking playground equipment. Is this really legal for kids?
