It’s not often that I’m working on a project that is difficult to explain to someone. But underpants? When someone asks me what I’m knitting, should I just lie?

Should I Just Lie and Say It’s a Sweater?

The knitted fabric of the underpants I’ve been knitting is really beautiful. It’s much more beautiful in real life than photos show. So when I was knitting it in public, people would often ask what I was knitting. Trying to explain vintage, men’s underpants seems kinda silly. It’s especially silly when I don’t have an image of what they’ll look like when they’re finished.

At least no one has rolled their eyes when I told them. And it does kind of shut them up.

I figured I’d get in one last blog entry before I leave for Easton Mountain this morning. It’s about a 4-hour trip up there. And I usually stop in Troy, NY to get a mani-pedi and some lunch. We’re not supposed to arrive prior to 2:00 PM, which should work out fine with my current packing schedule.

Can’t believe I’ll be in one of my very favorite places in a matter of hours!

Current Knitting

I did end up finishing the vintage, men’s underpants last night.

I finished sewing on the last button and weaving in the last yarn-end at about 10:00 PM last night. I also washed them this morning. Finn wouldn’t let me get a photo of the reverse side.

Strange cat…hates getting water on him, but sits on a damp, knitted garment. It’s his way of saying he’ll miss me this week.
