Charted Waters
The right front of Elspeth went much better than the back. This is probably because I charted the whole thing.
The best part is that I made it with Sharpie which bleeds through paper. This way, when I turn it over, I have a chart for the left side too! Genius I tell you. Except that in spite of double checking, I still managed to make a mistake in the pattern. The corrections are shown in turquoise.
Lucy has been a big help with Elspeth. I don’t know how I’ve managed to knit anything without her.
We also been keping an eye on the weather.
I am a big fan of NOAA
It looks like we’ve lucked out this time. We’re still in the Cone of Probability (and here are some fun charts to look at. I am especially fond of the Strike Probability.) but Katrina appears much more interested in Louisiana this time. It all depends on how soon she turns North. The Hurricane guys are more confident about this projection (the steering currents aren’t very well defined) which is better for us but bad for New Orleans: being below sea-level complicates things.

Using the Sharpie for a reversible chart is a great idea!

Emily I have to admit I’m dying for a closer view of the chart you made! That looks amazing! So does the sweater of course!

I bow to your profound genius in using Sharpie for the chart. Also, your kitty is just darling.

I hope this storm misses you – good luck to you and be safe!

Emily. I was just checking your blog hoping for news that you and your family are safe. You are in my thoughts!

I’m emily’s sister and I just to let you all know: emily, m, great gran, the kitties, and angus are all fine! They just don’t have power. I’ll be calling her this afternoon to let you know that you are all so thoughtful! I’m sure she will update as soon as she can with pictures and all the juicy details. Hope none of you suffered too badly and that you and your yarn are all safe.
