Gemini the Second

So with a week of this...















I managed to finish this...

While Little Boy Blue played in the sand and water, with cousins and alone, with additional aunties and grandma to watch him, I knit.  I knit on the beach, on the dock, on the couch, in the wind and in the calm. It was a lovely time away with my family.  The cousins had a fabulous time.   The tears ramped up towards the end of the week.  It seems that you can only sustain that level of play for a few days.

It's Knit Picks Shine Sport yarn that I've had in my stash for over a year.  I knit it up at the 22 stitch/4 inch gauge that Gemini required, and though I had gauge I ended up with 36" instead of the 34" bust I thought I'd have.  It's fine.  I love the feel of the fabric the yarn creates.  It's so soft.  I've worn it for a day and I know it'll be in the rotation until the weather gets too cold this fall.  Love.
