I monkeyed around with a lamp and the flash on my camera to finally get a photo that shows one of the eponymous knots. I'm happy with my progress so far and felt really pleased to work on this again. I'm also glad I'm doing one front at a time. It's a just a mind game but it gives me more noticeable progress than if I worked the two fronts together. Plus there's less chance of twisting a cable in the wrong direction since they all go one way on each front.
Wes wanted to watch The Three Burials of Meliquiades Estrada* last night so I needed something without charts. I grabbed my shop sweater again and knit on it until I ran out of yarn--before I get any wisecracks, I do have enough yarn to finish the sweater but it's at the shop.
It's a bit of a gray blob right now but I made some serious progress on it. At the end of work on Monday I was only a few rows past separating for the sleeves.
The film was well-done but didn't reach me on any emotional level. I've seen three films written by Guillermo Arriaga--Amores perros which I loved, 21 Grams which was brutal but still great and now Three Burials. I'm starting to feel like he's a one-trick pony. And it's getting to be a tiresome trick. And looking at his next film there's more of the same to come.
