Back to work blues
I haven’t had much time for knitting this week. I had to go back to work, so I’m getting back on schedule. Not enough sleep = SleepyScotsman = knitting mistakes = NotKnittingScotsman.
I did notice a huge mistake on my Celtic Cable Cap about 10 rows down, so I frogged it. I caught back up last night. I’m too tired this evening to work on a complicated pattern, and I haven’t found a sock pattern for the aran weight yarn I’ve got earmarked for some wearing around the cold house socks.
I still need to order the yarn for my FLAK sweater. I did chart out an entire single repeat in Excel. It’s 121 stitches wide, with a 24 row repeat. I figure I’ll take it easy on my first big sweater project. Now I just need to get some legal size paper so I can read it when it is printed. Next step is to swatch a single repeat of my cables, then I can size the sweater, and I’ll be ready to start knitting. (after I get the yarn of course).
You might notice the nifty progress bars off to the left. Thanks Ravelry, for providing an project API.
