Falcon PUNCH!

Back when I started knitting the Adamas, I likened the experience to playing Super Smash Bros as Captain Falcon. As I started each new row of lace, I felt like Captain Falcon on the edge of a tilting level - that arm-flailing balancing before plummetting either to his death or to victory with a well-placed Falcon PUNCH!.

And seeing the finished results of my Adamas, all pinned out and blocked, this was definitely the latter.





And this is the blanket mid-pinning. Not to show off my technical brilliance, but because the coincidence made me giggle:



Holy baby blanket, Batman!

I think I have second sock syndrome already - and I haven't even cast on my first sock! I started the Evanglines, and the first one knit up like a dream, and it felt like instantly. About two days of knitting on and off. But, of course, the second one is taking for-freakin'-ever. Today I'm going to buckle down and see how I can do on it. Because the first one is so pretty, and warm, and pretty, and awesome, and did I mention pretty? Because it is.

Forget Queen and their car, I'm in love with my fingerless gloves.

That's really a lovely Adamas - what steaming method did you end up using to block the acrylic? Surfed on over from Ravelry after I saw the pic there :)
