Hello again, and welcome to another installment of WIP Wednesday!
It's a short update this time around. Things were quiet over the weekend, since I went up to my aunt's cottage for Thanksgiving. But, I did get some knitting time then, plus more time since I got back -- I also took them to Knit Night -- so here's an update on the Geometric Mittens!
As you can see, they're coming along pretty well for a prototype, though they will definitely need to be blocked when I'm done. For some reason the second diamond has something weird going on with the tension at one edge -- I'll have to play around with it and see what's going on there.
I'm actually relatively happy with how these are turning out. I'm pretty close to where I'll have to start decreasing for the top of the mitten (I'm wondering if I can fit a third diamond repeat between the decreases for a larger size, so I'll have to experiment a little and do some math). Once I finish this mitten, I'm planning to take these needles and do the ribbing to finish off the third Spiralling Star Fingerless Mitten I've been working on. Well, yes, I could just buy new needles, but I'm trying to actually finish things, not just leave WIP's live on the needles!
That's it for this week's post (it is a shorter post folks, since I wasn't knitting as much)! Thanks for tuning in and I'll be back next week with more WIPs!
P.S. I will be going to Woodstock Fleece Festival, since the Toronto Knitter's Guild has chartered a bus! If you're interested in catching a ride with the guild, there are still seats available. And, if you're planning to drive there, then hopefully I'll see some familiar faces at the festival this weekend!
