knitting... slow

So the project i am making the most progress on is Tangy Giselle. i've set aside the sleeve stitches and am nearly to the end of the second ball (which equals 40% of the project if i use all the yarn). i discovered a mistake from a long time ago where i knit 7 sts on a purl row (or purled 7 sts on a knit row) and there is no way that i am fixing it. Taking it out as a ladder would probably destroy the tension / gauge, if not tangle the yarn. Taking it out all the way, even a stitch at a time, is most likely impossible (not to mention extremely inconvenient and time consuming). i can live with such a small mistake, and--let's face it--no one will probably ever notice. It might even be hidden by the hood whenever it's down (which, let's face it, is probably going to be most of the time).

In other project news... haven't gotten any more work done on the Boing socks, did two more rows on Fair Ginny, and am planning to knit a Bible cover now (possibly using ribbon as part of the design). i still haven't bought the size 4 needles for the yoga bag and runner's companion.

i hope to upload some update photos soon. It's getting late, i need to sleep. Luckily i can knit in three of my classes, and can get 3-7 rows done in each one if i put my mind to it. i'm not sure if i'll work on Giselle's sleeves next or continue with the main body of the project. Hmmm.../yawn.

knittin' in class

i have gradually been working on Giselle in class and it's coming along nicely. The gauge has once again turned out to be larger than expected (i don’t know why i even knit swatches, for crying out loud), and i apparently missed some increases somewhere, because i had 6 sts too few or too many (i’m not sure which). i set aside the arm sts 15 repeats early and have a Small Body, Large back, and Medium sleeves when it comes to how many sts are on the needles; i really don’t care as long as the sweater fits! But i find it really odd that i’ve apparently messed up the increases so much and my gauge is so off.

In other news, i bought some Mary Janes to wear to work and show off the socks i hope to be knitting soon (i have a lot of sock yarn in my stash). i hope to post pics soon.
