web-goddess: Cheesylove Update

Wednesday, March 24, 2004

I've made a little progress on Cheesylove, as you can see here. I finished the ruffle (casting on 1,008 stitches!) and I've just started the body decreases. Apologies for the bad picture; thick black wool is hard to photograph with a crappy camera. I'm using a 60cm-long 5mm wooden circular needle. (I'd have preferred an 80cm but it was all they had, and I like the wood.) I'm going to have to stop here, though, as I think I'm the only one that's actually begun. My sister is understandably distracted by this whole "getting-married" business. I've got some other knitting projects to distract me though, like the Stitch and Bitch I'm hosting this Saturday. Fun!

And on a related note, my career as a knitting instructor has begun in earnest. Today I gave a lunch hour lesson to two of my co-workers. One of them "got it" immediately, but the other had difficulty with the hand coordination. It's good to get practice in dealing with different kinds of students!

It is here, I think! It's just at the stupid post office that's only open business hours so we haven't been able to go pick it up. :(

Nah, it's cool. I've got a bunch of side projects that will distract me for a while... plus my new Denise knitting needles to try out, courtesy of my rockin' Mom! Yay!

Mine's been set aside for ages. I'm still debating on whether I should rip it back and redo the decreases and increases properly. I probably will...
