Pictureless Knitting Updated
Since I’m not at home, I can’t upload pictures, even if I take them. Here, however, is the update:
- All that’s left on Thing Two’s sweater is the left sleeve and the contrast trim on the V-neck.
- I have about an inch and a half done on the front of Thing One’s sweater.
- I’ve started my Morpheus Scarf w/the kit that Knitting Magic Girl gave me.
- I had planned to finish up Nana’s wreath yesterday and leave it here, but when I pulled out the bag to work on it, I realized I’d left the necessary yarn @ home. D’oh!
So, imagine this: You’re cruising along on the sleeve of a sweater. You get down to the cuff, where you’re supposed to switch to smaller needles and do 1.5″ of ribbing. You go to grab your dpns in the correct size and realize that you didn’t remember to bring your bag of size 6 needles. What do you do? Well, if you’re me, you grab your bamboo interchangeables (thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou, ‘Nette!!!!), pull out the longest cable and the size 6 tips and teach yourself (some version of) Magic Loop. Worked out pretty well, I think. The sweater’s coming out a little bit big for Thing Two, but that’s OK. Better too big than too small. Besides, it’s 100% cotton, so it will probably shrink a bit the first time I wash it.
Pictures when we’re back home.
oh i hate when i forget yarn! as for the cuff i would have been lazy & just knit it with the bigger needles…oh bad me.
