Still not much to report...

Working on invisible increases and the ssk decrease (which I thought would be horrid but is actually ridiculously easy. I think it looks okay...

And, of course, I found another pattern I want to make: Sound System Snugglers

Chartreuse Knits: Dragon Scale Gauntlet Pattern

Not much to report. Finished M1 and sl1 k1 PSSO; next will be working on invisible increases and SSK. Been rather too busy to do very much. Hopefully I'll be close to done with increase/decrease practice in 2 weeks -- that's when I fly to Georgia for my cousin's wedding, and my mom will be bringing me a yarn needle so that I can start to practice weaving in loose ends.


On another note, found this pattern:

I so want to make these! I will never have cold arms again!

Not much done, but found some projects for much, much later...

Well, not much to show for this week -- too busy. I finished practicing the (knit) bar increase, though I still don't think I'm doing it qutie correctly, and k2tog. Now working on M1 (not too difficult once I got the hang of picking up the strand between stitches, but it'll take another couple of rows to see whether it looks okay) and slip 1, k1, PSSO (haven't actually tried this yet -- looks annoyingish).

So, to flesh out this update I give you... things I want to knit!

Flower Petal Shawl
PRETTY!!! ...but it'll have to wait until I have enough experience to be willing to brave lace.

Angelina Vintage Jacket
ALSO PRETTY!!! ...but given that it requires actual shaping/consistent gauge, it'll probably be undertaken some long time after I've managed the shawl. ;)
