How many more sayings can I find with diamonds in them?! As this jumper is going to take a while to knit!
I am over halfway through the repeats I need to do before reaching the armhole shaping. The more of it I knit, the more I like it. I think blocking will make all the difference to the appearance.
Not much else to say about it - just keep knitting!
Here is an interesting magazine for you! I am really enjoying finding these free to read online vintage magazines.
This week, we have the November 1932 issue of Amazing Stories. Amazing Stories is an American science fiction magazine which is still being published in some form today.
It was the first science fiction magazine ever published when it began in 1926. Many sci fi fans started to correspond through the letters column and started their own fanzines. Amazing Stories directly influenced writers such as Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke.
The cover illustration comes from a story called Captain Brink of the Space Marines, showing the two main characters being attacked by a giant amoeba. You can read the story in this issue!
Enjoy!
I will be back next week with more diamonds.
It already looks lovely. Can't wait until it's finished and blocked. It should look really good then. Keep on clicking away!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is a motivation t make progress when I need to share it each week!
