web-goddess: Kitty Kat Cardigan Bodice

Sunday, March 11, 2007

Why yes, I am a knitting robot from the future...
That there is the body of my Argyle Kitty Kat Cardy FINISHED. Well, not technically finished. I have to weave in a million ends and embroider on the white diagonal lines and the cat faces, but the actual knitting is done. (I used a three-needle cast off for the shoulders.) Folks, that is a total of eight days from start to finish for that sucker. And did I mention it's in BLACK 4-PLY? I'm a little amazed myself. I was helped by the fact that halfway through the week I checked my row gauge and realized that doing five diamonds up the front was going to make it too long. I fretted about the non-symmetry of only doing four, but the girls at the guild meeting today convinced me it'd be fine. So that saved me 20% of the expected time.

As of this moment, I have exactly thirteen days left before the exhibits have to be turned in. And of course, I still have to knit the sleeves. Anyone want to take bets on whether I make it?

And in health news, I think I'm feeling better. My temperature seems to have stabilized and my throat isn't getting any sorer. Of course, this damn bug might just be incubating til my holiday starts...
