Yep.
Making headway on the plain vanilla Paton's Kroy. Nothing plain or vanilla bout these though. I got a few strange looks at the college today while I was waiting for Zach to get done with his computer lab. One woman asked me if I was knitting. I politely nodded and smiled.
I like the randomness of it. There is a little bit of pooling on the other side but it's not too bad.
Jesse's Flames sleeve. I'm so focused on the intarsia, I keep forgetting to increase on the edges. I like how it's turning out even if my increases aren't as evenly spaced as they should be.
I'm wavering on the Master Knitter program. I'm at a low point. I can't get the 1x1 ribbing to look like anything other than crap even though my other stuff looks okay. I know I'm just stressing over it and I do want to finish it because I sincerely have completion issues. For me it's fear of failure. So I don't finish last, I just don't finish at all.
I'll keep working but I don't think this is instilling confidence in me at all.

1x1 ribbing stinks. I'm not particularly pleased with mine, but I can honestly say I've done all I can do short of tearing out hair. It's not a rib that I use often (if at all) because I don't like how it looks and it isn't even very stretchy. It's time to let the judges decide -- it'll either be good enough or it won't. And if it isn't, what's the worst thing? I have it knit it again, maybe with a clue as to how I can improve. I can do that. So can you.
I hate emotion vampires. I hope they leave you alone, sweetie. And/or that you can make them go away.
What's going on with the ribbing? I'm new. Is it when you're using dpns? Or just in general. If you want some help/moral support, e-mail me. I may be able to help... maybe. ;^)
I'm making swatches for the TKGA (The Knitter's Guild Association) level one master knitter program. Yup...some day I hope to be a master knitter. Thing is, I expect perfection in a master knitter (that would be me) and since my knitting isn't perfect, once a week or so I have a meltdown and once a week or so, Vicki comes in and calms me down.
