So, I've completed one fingerless glove. I don't like it. I like the color. I love the stitching, except it is a little too loose. I don't like how I put it together. I think I will have to re-do!
I've learned the diamond seed stitch and cheveron seed stitch. Tonight I am working on a hat with circular needles. I started a sock with fisherman's wool (it is very easy to work with!) on four double pointed needles. That is for practice. I am hoping to turn out at least one thing that I like that isn't the simple garter stitch scarf! I also started a sweater, a gansey rather! I am incorporating many designs in the stitching. Sometimes I get lost as to whether I started purling or stitching a row, but sometimes I forget a lot of things I'm doing in life so I feel that the sweater reflects my personality- something I think required in a gansey.
I love working with thick yarn. I love the look of wool. I love the feel of it in a hat but I don't like the feel of it in a scarf- too thick! I made a scarf out of alpaca- now that is nice! It sheds a bit though!
I had a lovely surprise the other night when I arrived at work- a package! What was in the small white box addressed from Austin? Sock yarn! Two skeins! I am so excited to make socks with this yarn- that's why I am practicing on fisherman's wool- to be sure I get it right and don't screw up the nice yarn! My friend sent it to me, one skein for a pair of socks for her and one for myself. Awesome.
Will have to blog later. Blogging at work is hard- I don't feel as inspired under the floresant lighting :(
