John’s scarf is really coming along, as you can see in the following video:
t/w motion sickness
So we skipped green. Just cut that right out of the middle of the first skein. Luckily there was only one section that was green.
I took this video right before I started on the second skein and I’m coming up on green again. The things I do for my man!
About Flicking
I’ve been trying to perfect my flicking. This is a technique that allows you to wrap the yarn around the needle without letting go of your work, which allows you to knit faster.
Bad news: I keep dropping stitches purlwise.
Good news: I taught myself how to pick up dropped stitches.
Either way I’m back to throwing the yarn because it’s faster than flicking, then dropping stitches, then having to fix the dropped stitches. Anecdotally, at least.
Planning on practicing on some scrap yarn soon.
Socks
All the stuff came for my first pair of socks. I can’t wait! Hoping to start on them this week. As a reminder – gorgeous yarn.
