Diamond Fantasy

Holly Doyne Posted on 2008-06-17 by Proseknitic2008-06-17

Managing to get through the say, download a few software updates and stay away pegged my fun meter until afterwork when it was back out to try and catch the few rays peaking through the crowds.

Diamond Fantasy Shawl

Completing the shawl, I went ahead with the I-cord edging
Knitting the I-Cord
which went rapidly. I guess there were not quite as many stitches as I had thought. It just seems like purling back takes forever.
Bound off
After a nice 30 minute soak in the sink following the end weaving in,
Soaking
I proceeded with what was referred to as severely block the scarf.
Blocking
Not having any fancy blocking equipment, I had to settle for my Clover daisy headed pins and an old mattress pad.

Diamonds showing clearly

Would you believe I had almost 10 yards (of the 367) left over. Guess I should have knit two more rows!

Podiobooks

On Quarter Share by Nathan Lowell. He has joined the Podiobooks forum on Ravelry, which has added to my interest. Tells a nice tale.

Shawl Progress

Holly Doyne Posted on 2008-06-16 by Proseknitic2008-06-16

The most exciting part of my work day was finding myself the only one at breakfast in the Mess.

Knitting

Rapid progress on the Diamond Fantasy Shawl brought me to this point – Just about completed

with only a pattern repeat to go. I took advantage of the five minutes of sunshine.

Digging through my patterns – all the Chameleon Colorworks ones are still in Germany. I have no socks on the needles at all and am not sure what to start next. I might head back to frog the Mingus and use the yarn for Firestarter.

PodioBooks

I finished up Nina Kimberley the Merciless and moved from fantasy to Science Fiction.

Nathan Lowell has an interesting series based on space travel. Starting with Quarter Share, it is one of those lovely tales that absolutely works the best in first person. Reminds me of some Heinlein stories (young adult lose in the galaxy seeing ordinary situations with fresh eyes).
