Here’s the completed collar for Eris:
I like cables. I like them a lot. And I can’t help but be rather proud of this collar.
Still haven’t done additional knitting for the sweater. I probably won’t start on the yoke until after I cast on for Lotus Blossom, especially since the collar isn’t 100% dry yet.
In the meantime, I’ve kept working on the gloves. Why, oh why, did I decide to continue the striping into the fingers?
Oh yeah. I’m absolutely insane.
It’s kind of hard to take a picture of your right hand when, um, you’re right-handed. But, progress so far:
It’s loose, which is sort of odd because I’d subtracted stitches after my initial calculations. And my gauge really hasn’t changed, either. So I’m baffled. I don’t think I measured my hand wrong, but… well, maybe I did?
The index finger is especially baggy, but that partly has to do with the fact that I based the stitch count off the article’s formula, and not after my finger’s actual circumference.
Hmm.
I think I’ll just consider this glove a prototype. I should have enough yarn for a third glove. Or I could always rip this one out. But I’ll go ahead and finish this one. That way, I’ll know exactly what to modify and how.
At least it’s such a quick project, I don’t feel like I’ve wasted a whole lot of time on it. I want these to be perfect anyway, as I’m going to use them so much, so the extra effort is certainly going to be worth it.
