As you can probably guess if you&#8217;ve been following my blog, this is a post I made much later than its timestamp. It&#8217;s here because it looks bad to skip straight from month 12 to month 9, which is actually what happened. I was out of the country for a month, and when I got back it was all holiday prep all the time, not to mention fighting off a cold I caught in Cambodia and dealing with 12 hours of jetlag. I just didn&#8217;t have the energy to make a post &#8212; and there wasn&#8217;t much to show.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Sample.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-975\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"975\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/?attachment_id=975\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Sample.jpg?fit=239%2C265&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"239,265\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 4&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1444989894&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.85&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.066666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Hexworth Sample\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Sample.jpg?fit=239%2C265&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Sample.jpg?fit=239%2C265&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-975\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fallingblog.double-knitting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Sample.jpg?resize=239%2C265&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hexworth Sample\" width=\"239\" height=\"265\" \/><\/a>What I do have to show is the first completed piece back from one of my sample knitters, the finished textured DK scarf called Hexworth.
