  • yellow, pink or grey?

    Third time was a charm, and OSW is now waiting patiently for the weaving in of ends….so many ends, for some reason.

    Meanwhile…I’m kind of feeling the urge again to knit the “jacke en apricot”, the jacket that gets around. Now, what colour to do it in…yellow, pink or grey?

    Sorry about the crappy pictures today, indoor nighttime lighting isn’t very kind to picture-taking! From left, cotton-ease in banana cream, cotton-ease in strawberry pink (lauren’s strawberry jacket), all seasons cotton in some kind of off-white-grey colour (sort of like this one over at craftster, but more grey).

    I have a favoured one – but what do you guys think?

  • gahh.

    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!

  • like a treadmill

    You know, where you keep going and going, but get nowhere? Yeah, like that.

    I finalllly managed to get to the cuff of the second sleeve on my OSW.

    I really want to finish this and make some more headway on Elspeth before I start yet another small sweaterish thing – another minisweater, this one with sleeves, out of black Elann Sonata. Boring, but very useful (I think).

    Got a sleeve of Elspeth done – super fast, that.

    And I’ve started yet another project – the Go With the Flow socks from the summer Interweave.

    Yes, I know it’s pretty busy what with the lace and the many colours. But MEH, I say. At least it’s fun!
