Just a short entry, as I really should be studying!
Not a good knitting day. I’m having so much trouble binding off with the proper tension on my OSW! The first time was too tight (although maybe I should’ve just left it like that) – I did a normal bindoff. Then I undid that, and did an elastic bind off (*k2tog, put st back on left needle*) and it was too loose! I HATE undoing a bindoff.
This time – normal bindoff with a bigger needle. Last time I’m doing this!
I’m obsessed with pink and brown.
OSW (obviously not one skein) has a sleeve! Looking at the picture, I realized it’s been awhile since i knit a sleeve. Heh.
I’ve started yet another new project, Elspeth from Rowan 37. You can see Jennifer’s version here. MMMM, calmer.
I’m hoping this will be a quick knit. We’ll see!
The buttons, they are enough to drive one batty (see previous post). What’s worse than sewing on 21 buttons? Having to rip out a bunch because someone didn’t space them correctly.
Anyway.
In spinning – I finished up the Nectarine wool, and it is beauuutiful.
It’s 288 yards, and very similar to the sherbet merino I did up earlier. I think I’ll try to combine them in a project somehow.
I’ve also started a new project.
Yep, an OSW – but it’ll take more than one skein, because I’m going to put sleeves on it. I’m using Knitpicks Shine, and it’s so soft and lovely! Plus, it doesn’t split – no more splitty yarns for a while, thanks.
P.S. It’s done. It fits. It’s gorgeous. Pictures soon.
