Knitting update

John’s rainbow scarf is coming along! It’s about 1/3 done. No pattern here. Just knitting and purling until he’s happy with it.

FYI, we will be skipping green. John hates green.

I’m working on my flicking technique, and so far I’ve more or less got it down on the knit side. Purl not so much. So I’m like 25% faster than before.

The edges are extra knit stiches that were meant to keep the scarf from curling, but it’s only kind of sort of working. Once I’m finished with it I’ll soak it and set it straight.

In other knitting news…

I decided to level up and try knitting an actual pattern. Socks it is! Here’s what they’re supposed to look like:

Bonus points for the unicorn

Except here’s the yarn I got:

OMG I love it so much

I also have to learn to knit in the round. And make socks. Squee! Let’s do magic!
