knit stuff
I've been rejuvenated lately when it comes to knitting. Hooray for that. I got my swatches done for my class next month, they were faster and easier than I originally thought. Those easy, mindless swatches were just what I needed to get back into it.
I've been knitting away at my Mariah sleeves and actually started Wyvern sock #2. I don't think I've yet completed a full repeat but the toe is done :-) But at least I've started.
I need to start a new project tomorrow for this academic tournament I have to go to with K on Saturday. It's going to consist of a lot of sitting on my ass, waiting around because K will be off with her team. I can work on my sleeves for a lot of it, but I have to volunteer for an hour and I can't read sleeve or sock charts while doing that. Volunteering will consist of me sitting on my ass too so I will probably start a felted bag or something. I have this gorgeous bulky weight burgundy yarn with small sections of chartreuse thrown in for good measure. I really would love to make it into a sweater but I have only about 540 yards of it so maybe a bag is a better idea. If I can find some similarly colored burgundy that I might have leftover from another project maybe I could squeak out a top-down raglan if I use a loose enough gauge? Probably not. I wish I had more than 4 hanks of this stuff, but I think it's all they had left when handpaintedyarn.com had a little clearance sale a while back. Crap. It's so beautiful and I've always had a soft spot in my heart for chartreuse.
