I knit almost the entire sleeve. It looks ok.
Unfortunately, it is significantly smaller than the other one.
ARGH!
I’m going to have to rip it back AGAIN and do it on the double points that I did the first sleeve on. I think the Clover Bamboo size 10 needles and a lot bigger than the Denise size 10s.
ARGH!
I was done 60 rounds of a 99-round sleeve.
It looked like ass.
More specifically, it looked like ass where I had decided (not so brilliantly) to switch from dpns to magic loop. The magic looped part (quite a large amount of the sleeve) looked fine, but the loose stitches really bothered me. And since I was at someone else’s house last night without proper tools, I kept knitting even though I wasn’t satisfied with it.
Riiiiiiiiiiiip.
Dang. There goes a couple of hours of my knitting life. Oh well, it’ll be better this time and I’ll be happy!
I have been sooo busy lately with school and work. I like to have things to do, but sometimes a girl needs a rest!
I’ve joined the Kitty Hat Knitalong, hosted by Silvia. My little sister (she’ll be 11 this month) picked out some Bernat “So Soft” for a Kitty Hat a couple of months ago, but I’ve never gotten around to making it. Since her birthday is coming up, I figured it was finally time. After being spoiled by all the alpaca and cashmere at the shop, though, this acrylic is driving me nuts! Oh well, a few rounds a day and it’ll still get done fast.
Working away on the 2x2x3x1 Ribby still. I’ve got 9.5 inches of the body done, out of the fourteen before the sleeve join. I think I’ll be lengthening it a wee bit, maybe an inch. I should really get started on that other sleeve as well, since I’ll need it fairly soon.
Stitch and bitch last night at Lettuce Knit was great – there were *so* many people! Megan counted about fifteen, and there were some that were in and out. I think that’s the most people we’ve ever had in the store at once!
I want to get pictures up of a bunch of the finished things that I’ve done this year, but that’ll have to wait until at least Saturday.
P.S. Anyone want to try a seriously addictive game? Mystery of Time and Space.
