Bribery
One back, two fronts, one sleeve down and one sleeve (started) to go. I'm pretty pleased with getting that sleeve finished yesterday. Especially since I was working on it along with another project I need to work on that isn't on my WIP list -- my masters thesis. Yesterday I told myself I could only work on the sleeve if I worked on the code. So every time I made it to a coding milestone I got to do a few rows. Worked out pretty well as I got to where I wanted to on both projects.
It's a pretty ugly day here in Chicago, so I am thinking the next sleeve might get done today. Might even be cool enough here to wear it when I am done...
Oh -- and for anyone who might want to know, the sweater is blocking on my SpaceBoard. You can get them at KnitPicks. They're a pretty handy blocking accessory for an urban knitter without too much extra space!
Oooooh....I like your blocking board! I went off and made my own 'cause I couldn't find any here, and it's works just fine for me. But I like how yours has measurements...would probably save me a lot of time if I got one like that.
(Good luck with your thesis! It's funny to see that others use "negotiations" in their knitting, too. It works, though :-))
You read my mind! I've been meaning to go through your archives and find out where you bought your board. I admire it every time I'm visiting. I love the precision of it. Thanks, Theresa!
That Siolk Garden cardigan is looking fabulous ... you've probably finished it by now !
I too reward myself with little knitting sessions.Not as fast or productive as you though.I do my best . :0]
yes we WERE wondering about that fabulous blocking surface...thanks for sharing!
OMG!!! You are a Power Knitter! A Speed Goddess. A Yarn Warrior!
That is the most beautiful blocking I've ever seen. I got that book last weekend...
I'm also drawn to the shrug in the Fall Knitter's made out of Noro. But then I'd have to buy something from the Knitting Universe and I'm scared of them...
But I think the Dark Side will prevail. Pray that I am not Borged into an XRXess.
