It’s been several months since I last updated this, and I have a somewhat decent excuse for it. I went back to school and started working all the time shortly after my last post.
My Ravelympic sweater was finished, but I have some alterations I really want to make to it before I actually consider it 100% finished. It didn’t turn out exactly as I’d hoped it would, but I am still happy that I put it together so quickly.
Shortly after the semester started, I came up with a couple of different patterns. The one that I am the absolute happiest with is my Stealing Cable beret, which is a slouchy-if-you-want beret created over a few different hats. I’m going to put the pattern out for use as soon as I can get a few different test knitters to make sure that it works for them as well.
I didn’t do much knitting after I had squared the patterns away. Carpal tunnel and work got in the way, and so I had to slow down significantly. I did work my way through a plain orange hat for a friend of mine. The next object that I’ve really finished was a pair of Knucks for a friend of mine. I had tried to make a pair for a different friend, but his hands were too big and I couldn’t handle figuring out how to change it, so I moved to the next person on my list.
After that, I worked on a plain 1×1 rib scarf that I don’t really have any pictures of, and that is that. I am trying to motivate myself to work on something else (and those gloves for my best friend!). I have also considered putting together a small etsy store to make some hats and a few extra dollars. I’ll see where things take me!
