Topic: nordic knitting
I spent last night with my charts, my sweater and the SciFi channel.
I really, really love knitting with color. I have kept myself tied down to aran and gansey knitting for the last 3 years and I am DELIRIOUSLY happy with the change. The next two sweaters are evolving as I knit this one, and I cannot WAIT to get to #2.
Last night I pondered how to raise the back of the neck with a few short rows. Normally, I put them all in the collar, but I will experiment and see if I can live with them in the yoke.
By 10:30, my eyes were blurry, and the chart reading was getting muddled, so I took out my post-it-notes and blocked out everything but the row I was working on. (This is quite necessary when you have to keep one eye on Battlestar Gallactica, which repeated an episode I MISSED last time around.)
