I was knitting along, making good progress on my little shrug… and then I decided that the back was still too big. I guess my gauge changed a bit once I had the whole thing on the needles.
Thankfully I don’t have to rip the whole thing. I’d left my scrap yarn in the sleeves when I joined it to the back. I’m still going to be frogging a good few inches, but at least the back goes pretty quickly.
Sleeves! Don’t mind all the dangling strands, I had the back in progress and the whole thing was on scrap yarn… I really won’t have to weave in that many ends!
Swatch for the back. It would really, really have helped to have the gauge for this listed in the pattern… *grumble*
In other news, I joined the Mystery Stole Along because the premise intrigues me. I’m not sure what yarn I’ll be using yet, though… maybe something from KnitPicks? Or maybe I’ll poke my head into a yarn store and pick something… though that might be dangerous because I’ll be tempted to buy more. ;-)
Speaking of yarn stores, Jess, Heather, and I went down to Bonita to check out Le Stitch. Which was pretty meh. Some of the stuff was pretty, but I don’t know how much of it I’d actually use.
Knitting things to do this week: finish Shimmer, work on test sock for Jess, buy yarn for stole. I’m being unusually single-minded about my crafting lately; since when do I only have one thing in progress? (Okay, so I cast on for the sock, but since I haven’t touched it since, that doesn’t really count!)
