100 Things #004 - Laika Progress
I've been knitting a lot this past week, and I'm making great progress on Laika.
This was my progress on April 22:
I was working on the body, decreasing for the waist. The orange yarn is scrap yarn, I used it to hold the sleeve stitches and for the provisional cast-on. I did a provisional CO so that I wouldn't have to pick up stitches for the hood - I hate picking up stitches, and doing a provisional CO would make sure I wouldn't have to do that.
And this is what I have today:
I've finished the body and one of the sleeves, and I am at about 1/3 of the hood.
I find the hood is not my favourite part. For everything else, you're almost always gradually increasing or decreasing, so you can easily measure your progress by those increases/decreases. Not so with the hood, it's just 25+ cm of knitting straight ahead. Not very interesting, I have to admit.
My plan with the provisional CO worked out, it was quite easy to start the hood. :D
