I finished a sleeve for Shimmer. Seriously, if I didn’t know any better, I’d honestly think it was supposed to be a 3/4 sleeve… it looks so short! I’d take a picture, but it’s kind of awkward taking a picture of your own arm, and my tripod’s kind of wonky at the moment (need to fix it).
I reached the end of the first ball just a few rows before I finished the sleeve, and I decided to try the Russian join this time around. It works great, but the join’s a lot more noticeable than a spit-splice join would be. I’m not sure how much blocking would fix that (part of the issue is just that stitches are uneven in that spot). Whatever it is, I’m thinking I’m definitely going to just splice for the rest of the joins.
I also found the pattern for my black lace scarf, though I haven’t picked up the needles again yet.
I’ve been too tired to knit much for the past couple of days… I’m readjusting my internal clock to account for my new work hours, so at the moment I pretty much want to collapse once I’m done for the day. And since I went out for a run both yesterday and today after work, you can just imagine how little energy I had left for knitting afterward. Once I get used to it I’ll be knitting more on weeknights, though. And in the meantime, there’s always the weekend!
I still need to post the pictures for my yarn-dyeing experiment; I’ll probably get around to that by this weekend.
