WIP Wednesday: is there a medal for tinking?

Why yes, it has been a frustrating day.

I’m into a new section on my Ravellenic shawl. I’ve taken the Madeira pattern from Shipwreck, flipped it so the two sides of the shawl will mirror each other, and offset the two sets of ‘leaves’. Converting from in the round to on the straight means it now involves lace rows on the purl side, so I’m having to convert SSKs to p2togtbls, and then mirror that on the other side. My brain hurts.

Day 4 #ravellenics - slow going!

That’s where I was this morning. That’s pretty much where I am now, too. I misjudged the placement of one side of leaves so I had to unravel almost everything I’ve done today. Gah. Knew I should have put in a lifeline mid-pattern. :D

The cable socks are still going.

Mustn't forget the socks.

Slightly slower than previously since I am cheating on them with this shawl, and I’m also trying to write down the cable pattern as I go so I can share it with you lovelies.

Anyway… Just a brief check-in before I return to the cycling. Wheee!

    Well, I am impressed. That is way more difficult knitting than I am up to as I, too, watch cycling and gymnastics and swimming and my ass grow into the couch all at that same time! You are pretty much my knitting hero and I’l wanna send you a medal at the end of all this. My KnitOlympics progress – I have 6 finished projects. 9 to go to “win” a bronze.

    The socks are LOVELY! I’ll look forward to the pattern! Turns out cables are a favorite! Your looks wonderful. It’ll be worth all the brain hurt in the end!

  4. I’m such a sucker for cables – what a pretty sock!
