Ravelympics 2008

I haven’t written much, I keep forgetting I have this stupid blog. But I have some time to spare, so I thought I’d go through a quick update of some finished objects and then just what I’m working on.

I still haven’t finished Bad Ripples. I do a few rows every now and then, but I still have another repeat or two to go before the blanket is finished. I might finish it this week so that I can bring the finished project with me to school and not have to worry about lugging all of the yarn… even though I’ll probably bring the yarn with me anyhow. No new progress shots of it, though.

Other than that, I made a pair of fingerless mitts. One has the EZLN logo on it, the other has a red star stitched on the middle. I love them, they are comfy (Caron simply soft, nothing special). I just made one bigger than the other to cover my carpal tunnel brace if I need it.

I took this before I did the star on the right hand one. If you are curious, the EZLN is the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional. They are a very inspirational group of people, a very wonderful social movement based in Chiapas, Mexico.

Finally, I have my sweater for the Ravelympics! I’m knitting in the Freestyle for All for Team CESOB! Wooo, go CESOB! I’m going verrrry slow unfortunately, and I need to pick up the pace big time. I’m doing another top-down raglan, improvising the pattern as I go along. I haven’t decided if it’s going to be a cardigan or regular sweater. It’s a deep-V, though. I’ll try to get a better progress shot than I have tomorrow.
