Denny's secret

Denny, she likes to do the seaming. Denny, she likes to weave in the ends. Place a pile of knitted pieces in front of Denny, and her eyes light up.

I am guilty of knowing this and intentionally mentioning the doneness of the pieces of my Artfibers coat to Denny while we were at SOAR. I had fear of finishing. Denny had no such fear and had it immaculately seamed within 24 hours.

She was worried [because she knows me] that I might lose steam and not finish the rest. I could not let her down. So I picked up stitches for the collar right away, and packed the unfinished sweater and yarn and took it all over Europe with me.

Jillian suggested the perfect way to end the collar involving my first good handspun. I finished knitting the collar in Theresa's living room and Jillian is [no surprise to me] a genius. Tonight, I finished one side of the button band and, knock wood, I should be able to finish the last side tomorrow. Which means finished sweater for Wednesday at LK. Denny, I will see you on Wednesday [I hope!], with my finished sweater on my person.

For obvious reasons, pictures will have to wait. Denny has to be the first person to see it.
