The knitting project is going well, as I will show you in multi-photo detail shortly. But first! Have I mentioned that my needles squeak? Creak? Drive me nuts?If Blogger and Picasa and my lovely little camera have done what they promised, you can see this wee "video" I made last night, in case the squeak/creak/drive me nuts description is not clear enough.
Like that, only louder. So annoying! I tried to work some soap into the join, and the results were absolutely nil. I don't want to put anything on that could mess up the yarn, but it is seriously annoying.
As for the progress of the knitting, it goes well. I finished the second ball last night, and was seized with a sudden desire to test the fit of the garment in progress. Previously, I felt that trying it on and finding it didn't fit would impair my inspiration and dedication to progress, but, well, impulse of the moment and all. I threaded half the stitches onto another circular, and viola, it fits!
Well enough for me for now, anyway. Triumph!
It is this big:
And now I'm going to knit some more.
Tomorrow: cats! That's the plan, anyway.
