Oh. Right. Monday.

Nothing much this week. I'm planning to turtle extensively for a little while, and hopefully reemerge feeling human at some point.

My Olympic knitting? Yeah, it goes slowly. This picture shows about 1.5 hours of work. Just the knitting, just this bit. Those 1.5 hours don't include the swatching, measuring, pattern-combing, plotting, calculations, ripping out, other attempts... none of that. Just this bit. 1.5 hours. The increase patterns are insane, but they're all I've found that will look good and lay flat(ish). Never again, NEVER AGAIN does Deb get to dictate exactly what she wants in a knitted item.


I no longer worry that I was setting the bar too low by choosing just this hat for my project.
