Ravelympic Update: A dozen rows away from the thumb gusset and plunging along. Had some major yarn issues, I ended up having to break the yarn and start a new ball, the last one was just way too tangled. It's going to be a race to the finish, but that was the point, wasn't it?
I reversed the pattern for the second glove so the swoops would go it in the opposite directions. I thought it would be harder, but I just screencaped the pattern and mirrored it before copying it down into my pattern book. Then I had to experiment with decreases to make sure they sloped the right way, and had to figure out that I needed to shift the stitches in the opposite direction between pattern repeats. They're looking good, though! I am hopeful!
My stash is looking better and better. It's like since my last SEX, there's so much more colour. I also dyed the second skein of handspun from my girlfriend's mother. I tried for a graduated effect and it didn't quite work, but I still like the rose-red effect. I'll have pictures up soon. I'm thinking of making a hat or something with it, and a scrunchie for her from the leftovers of the last skein. Shhh, it's a surprise.
On the school front, I got it all straightened out! Switching my major back to Celtic Studies, so I've registered for Welsh, Irish Bardic Poetry, Medieval Gaelic Prose and Poetry, creative writing, directed study and thesis. All Celtic Studies, all the time! The all-singing, all-dancing Gaelic revue!
