I will count knitting with multiple double-ended needles as a second skill for the breadth challenge, when I have that down; but not yet. Instead, Depth #12: a pouch off the recent Tournaments Illuminated article on knitted pouches, zigzag stripe in blue and white. Started it yesterday afternoon. In around talking with in-laws around dinner, managed to cast on and get the first couple of inches done; did the first triple stripe (white/pale blue/white) this afternoon, then did the zigzag portion in roughly three hours this evening. I may even have gotten the tension someplace in the vicinity of where I wanted it to be — I’m still using the wrong size needles, and it is not yet complete, but the hard part is done and really it just needs a little more mindless TV-watching and then becomes my First Experiment In Casting Off By Myself. (Uh oh.)
Seriously, this has gone much faster than I expected it to. Which is good, because I haven’t finished a project since September…
