Knitting Olympics - Progress
Some people compete in the snow and wind. Some compete in an ice arena. Me, I compete here. See, I even moved the “next to the desk” lamp over this evening so I could continue to knit w/o having to torque my back by twisting to hold my work under the light. I think I’ll actually swap it with the “next to that futon” lamp b/c that one has a three-way bulb in it that goes up to 150 watts - much better. Anybody wanna buy me an Ott-Lite?
So, ya wanna see her? Do ya? Reeeeeaaaaally? Well, OK, but I’m gonna make you work for it. Click on the little purple “Read More” box.
Hubby was playing with the camera settings to try to get it to focus right, etc. Color’s off, but we’ll work on that. Here are just a few of the stitch sections, in no particular order. She’s going pretty well. I’m thinking that tomorrow I should finish the first big 48-row pattern repeat. I’m not confident about my ability to finish her in time, but I’m learning a lot, for sure. I should have trained more — she definitely should be narrower. I seem to have this problem with making stoles/rectangular shawls too wide. Seems like I think I’m making them for Andrei the Giant or something (yes, we watched The Princess Bride today).
More updates to come, but I’m tired. Until then, have fun storming the castle!
P.S. Say a little prayer/cross your fingers/whatever for Zib and everyone else in Italy, where the dead bird-flu swans are falling out of the sky. NOT a good thing!
