Life's a Stitch

Here in Canada legislation requires product labeling to appear in both official languages. It has reinforced my high school French vocabulary. Friday night, on the way home from work, I picked up some egg nog. What a laugh we had when we realized the literal translation for egg nog in French is “chicken milk.” Brought up all sorts of images of milking machines on a poultry dairy farm.

Here is the progress on the Autumn Silk Cardigan. Oh what a fun knit. I tend to judge lace patterns by comparing them to the Charlotte’s Web shawl. This is way easier and a very satisfying lace pattern knit over four rows, two of which are purl and the other two identical except for one stitch. Almost too easy.
