Thanks to the helpful suggestions from several people on the Knitlist, there is finally being serious progress made on those pesky sleeves. It rather suddenly clicked last night, and I managed to get about 4 inches done on each one. It would have been more, mind you, but I got distracted on my way home by a yarn store that I hadn’t yet visited. We all know how dangerous those can be.
The new store (Seattle Yarn Gallery) didn’t have any of the things I was looking specifically for, other than the Denise needles, but those were $8 more than at , so I’ll wait and get them later. I did, however, finally find some yarn that I totally dig (so far at any rate…) for the Honeymoon Tank, and got that started last night, with a slightly different bottom edge. The twisted rib just wasn’t turning my crank, but I loved the vine lace pattern tank in the summer issue of Interweave Knits, but wouldn’t want an entire tank made out of it, so I used that as my bottom edge instead of the twisted rib.
On top of those two, I also managed to add another 8 inches or so of the Koigu lace edging around the Perfect Pie Shawl.
Sigh. Knitting bliss. It’s all good.
