Knitting again!
It's been forever since I've knit! Last year school was basically too busy, and I just got out of the habit during the summer. But then I finished the socks I started at Wiscon, started a baby hat for my high school teacher, and proceeded to cast on a billion projects.
Well, two socks. But it still feels like a lot!
And now, I have started a Fair Isle tam! OMG people! I have avoided doing it for years after promising my sister one because I was scared of stranded knitting, but it is much easier than I thought! I feel so accomplished! Exclamation point!
Of course, I am sure I will discover in a few rows that my gauge is completely wrong, that I am pulling too tight on the strands, and that I'm holding the yarn wrong or something. But right now, I AM DOING STRANDED KNITTING!
(Also, 1x1 rib in stranded knitting? Sucks!)
