updates: gloves and ms. marigold
::gloves
the gloves are going well. i finished the first one (well, i need to weave in some ends and do some stitching on the cuff, but that's all.) and started the second using a second skein of yarn over the weekend. unfortunately, i discovered that, while knitting last night (note to self: do not knit lace patterns when tired.), i somehow lost a stitch on the back section of the gloves. i spent a little while trying to fix it, but couldn't figure it out. blah. to be fair, i've made a few mistakes and dropped more stitches than i care to remember when making my first glove, and i've been able to fix everything pretty easily, so it hasn't been that bad.
also, i bought three skeins of the yarn i'm using because i'm the sort who gets paranoid about running out of yarn. i weighed the first glove and the skein i had been using for it, and, unless the universe is screwing with me, i should be able to get the second glove out of the same skein. woo hoo! i'm planning on making a cute, lace scarf out of the second skein and returning the third.
::ms. marigold
i need to figure out another name for my ms. marigold, since i'm using green. i don't think ms. grass would really work? ms. fern, perhaps?
anyway, i just started the FOURTH swatch for this puppy. sigh i'm making this one a bit bigger and am trying out the (recommended) 5s yet again. if the stitch gauge is still off (and the row gauge still perfect), i'm going to have to rewrite the pattern for myself. i know it won't be difficult, but i don't like introducing more opportunities for error into my knitting projects if not completely necessary.
