WIP Wednesday - 01/23/08
Okay - let's see where we are, shall we?
Project #1: Nevis Cardigan: I am still working on sleeve #2.
Goal: My goal is to see if I can get that finished up and then we'll move on to blocking and finishing details the following week.
Project #2: Rattlesnake Creek Socks: I did finish up the ribbing and started on the cables for the leg of sock #2.
Goal: Finish the leg repeats and get ready to start the heel.
Project #3; Sea Mineral Mittens: I am reserving the right to move these out of the queue for a bit and will be replacing them with my No-More-Humdrum Mittens swap project, since that's on a deadline and the Sea Mineral Mittens aren't. I have already started the swap project mittens. Be forewarned there aren't going to be any pictures until my swap-mate has received these; I missed changing one lousy setting on my "anonymous" email, so she knows who I am already and the swap is small enough she can easily wander thru my blog. I promised I wouldn't spoil the surprise with details.
Goal: Finish mitten #1 (Sounds lofty, I know, but I've already knit over half of it, so I'm going to try to push on with this.)
And for an update (in case y'all are participating or following along on Ravelry with the Knit-A-Mile challenge for January/early February), as of Monday, I have knit through 688 yards. So....1760 yards per mile...minus 668 yards...carry the 1......leaves me with 1092 yards to knit before February 19th. Best get them thar needles a'clickin.
All for now....
You have been cracking the whip! Do you get extra time if you knit a mile of laceweight? or extra bulky? Sort of like slogging in the mud a mile, or walking on tip toes for a mile? lol.!

Since you're busy, does that mean I shouldn't email you the J&S news I received? It's not on their web site ;-)

I've surely finished a mile over the long weekend, but I still feel fat...

Yep, the settings will get you every time! I linked yesterday's post to my mitts in Ravelry, then realized that because I have the mitts linked to the Swap group, the post showed up on the group's front page. Un-linking ensued. It's hard to remain anonymous these days.

I admire anyone who can knit a mile of yarn in a month.

Excellent use of math in a blog post! Can't wait to see photos of all that once the swap is done!

Boy, your needles have been smokin lately. I have a feeling you will have no trouble meeting your knit a mile challenge!

It is so easy to make mistakes. And you can reserve the right to change your knitting around. I can't wait to see you Rattlesnake Creek socks. They sound interesting.

Whoa you've been busy - pass some of that mojo my way! =)

Sometimes it's really hard to keep a secret in Blogland! I hope you are closing in on your mileage goal this weekend.

A MILE?? I have a better chance of spinning a mile...then I have more yarn to knit, so that doesn't work.
It's a great idea, but...but...but...
I think February will be my month for a mile. How do you keep track if you don't finish projects, or only knit through parts of skeins? Don't tell me you measure it all like I measured my sock?
