Well for better or worse my Pinku
Flower got sent out yesterday. I could have worked on new designs for another
month but I realized that I needed to get it in the mail if there was any prayer
of it getting to OK before Christmas. Hopefully my swap partner won't see this
post before it arrives tomorrow. I also sent out a flower pin to my mom and
I got to hand deliver one to MeowGirl last night at the airport. Yeah she is
in Ohio.(happy dance) I think this was flower design number 8. The first one
were pretty homely, but I really didn't want to do a silk ribbon flower. Throughout
the project I knew that was my default if I couldn't get a knitted flower to
turn out. I ended up really happy with the design, but maybe I should have done
a silk ribbon flower since I am much better at that media than the knitting.
Now
I can finally work on other knitting projects. Here is my swatch for the fingerless
gloves. I have been experimenting with both tiny circulars and 4 inch double
point needles. The problem that I have been running into is that with the metal
needles I am splitting the yarn a lot with the tiny needles. Not really sure
what the solution is to this problem to be honest. I do like the texture of
the addi better than the bamboo circulars. I would try doing it on inox circulars
to see if I still ran into the problem, but I have yet to find them that small.
The black stole is coming along. It measures 15.5 inches now. So I am soon going to be faced with the decision of how wide do I want it to be. My original thoughts were 18, but somehow it seems short. From other patterns I have been reading they seem to be measuring anywhere from 18 -28inches.
Tonight is the big knitting class, I can not wait to see what we learn.
