WHEW!!The concert was a great success, and all those rehearsals did end up being worth it. :) But it will be very nice to have a little vacation until the fall... I can hardly believe that I don't have anything to do tonight!!! I'm planning on taking Cricket out on her leash... unless it rains AGAIN. ;) AND provided I can wake her up:
My birthday was on Saturday, so after rehearsal I met my family for Mexican food and something frozen, lime-y, and made with tequilla. :) Needless to say, afterwards I didn't get much knitting done! I did get a few hours on Sunday before the concert... a few more rounds done on Dalmore. I'm guessing I'll need 5-6 pattern repeats before I start the armhole steeks... I guess at some point I need to get my grandma's sewing machine from my parent's house. First, I guess I should make sure it works! 
I'm getting a lot better at using both hands for the 2 color knitting... my tension still isn't great with my left hand, but as long as I keep the "less-used" yarn in the left hand for each round, it seems to be ok. I'll have to give the vest a good blocking anyway- it tends to be a little scrunched together coming off the circs. I did make sure that I wasn't floating the yarn too tightly- I can stretch out the patterned sections quite a bit, either longer or wider, and the floats don't pull, so I should be able to block it to the right size. It'll be so hard to wait until Christmas to give this to my dad! patris est filius "like father, like son (his father's son)" 0 comments || # |
