On a lighter note...
EmbiggenSo, to change gears a bit, to a more positive element - the first of the gloves I was working on for ragnvaeig is finally done. Finished the actual knitting last week, wove in the ends today while ranting and applying for jobs and such.
So there we go. My second real knitting project, first time knitting in the round, half done. DPNs were a good choice, I think, particularly since I decided to create fingers (original pattern had none). Took a while, but not as long in actual work as I might have feared. Will still be resting my fingers a bit before starting up again, as trying to knit tightly enough to match the gauge with overlarge yarn (and overlarge hands) was a bit finger-cracklin'. On the plus side, this should go faster, as I'll (hopefully) be ripping out less stitches and generally know a lot more about what I'm doing.
