What I Did On My Pre-Inaugural Vacation
Jan. 21st, 2009 01:23 pmLook, it's a finished garment:

Okay, it's only one of a pair, so it's not like it's a finished project or anything, but it's a thing and I made it. I won't tell you how many times I took it apart to finally get to a finished thingy (mostly because I have lost count) but along the way I've learned to gauge my long tail cast on pretty well, I can tell the difference between a knit stitch and a purl stitch by how they look, and I'm increasingly comforatable with tension. And the second project I started has made the green wool in the fingerless mitt seem very easy to work by comparison. So there is progress.
There's another picture of the mitt and one of the scarf beneath the cut ( here )
