WIP Wednesday - 01/09/2008
It's that time of the week again! I don't have pics this week, as I need to recharge a set of batteries for the camera. I spent yesterday afternoon taking a bunch of short movies and pictures for a friend-of-a-friend who was looking at a horse down in my neck of the woods, and alas, seem to have run through all the power I've got. It'll likely be okay, since most of this week looks like most of last week.
Goals this week are going to be light, since this weekend I start riding lessons with Bhen (mostly to keep him (and me!) in shape over the winter, but also to work on a few finesse things), and then we've got some actual social engagements that require me a) leaving the house, b) not wearing my PJs and c) not wearing my riding togs and a ripped, dirty sweatshirt.
Project #1: Nevis Cardigan
Progress: Zipping right along. Finished sleeve #1 and actually have already cast on for sleeve #2. I
Goals: I'm going to try to get to the halfway point on the this sleeve (all the increases before the raglan decreases).
Project #2: Rattlesnake Creek Socks
Progress: I finished the cuff ribbing.
Goals: I would like to spend as much time on these as I can to get the pattern finished up. Realistically, I'm going to set a goal to get the leg down to the heel knit, and if I can get farther, I will.
Project #3: Sea Mineral Mittens
Progress: Finished another repeat.
Goals: Try for 2 more repeats this week.
Hope everyone is having a great mid-week and lots of knitting!
All for now...
Woo-hoo--Riding Lessons! Where did you find to hold them? And, did the horse yesterday look promising?

More importantly, can you knit at the "social engagements"?

I love taking a regular lesson. It keeps me and Holley working and focused. Where i board has an indoor arena, so it makes it easier to do year round.

I'm sorry you have to get dressed this week, but the riding lessons sound fun. :)
Good luck with your goals this week.

Ooh the riding lesson sounds fun, I just started up again after about a decade off and I'm finding muscles I didn't even know I had, hurt! =) It sure is great exercise though isn't it?
I'm really interested in seeing your sea mineral mittens, they sound very pretty! Have a great week.
