Visible and not-so-visible progress

I have a few photos of progress from last week. As I grow near the day I move into my new apartment, things grow a bit more erratic. Still, I knit on.

My Big Foot Knits sample approaches completion. The pattern is working, which is hugely cool. I can see that I will want to redo the heel, it bags a bit, but in her instructions she does encourage one to knit it over until it works, record what one has done, and then ta da, you have a heel that fits your foot that you can refer back to as long as you have your foot. I am liking the fit very much. I want to go one more inch up the calf  to see how the pattern fits on a leg, and then to the cuff. I do need to get this done, it is a sample for my class, and it needs to be up in the store. I can see the wisdom in knitting the first sock in this method as a plain sock, and then adjusting for cables and lace once one has their pattern down. Adding cables and lace do make it more difficult to get a precise fit. Even so, this sock is working.

I have completed the back on the Bathrobe of Eternity. I had done the fronts about 2/3rds of the way previous to starting the back. Now I get to see them together. From this photo it looks as if I may actually finish in this lifetime! Next is to determine the length and angle of the neck decreases. Then comes the front band, and after that the sleeves.

I have also just cast off my “J’ouvre mon Coeur”. I went one pattern repeat beyond what the instructions suggested, and I am happy. It will be just cozy enough without being overbearing. Photos to come, it is late and it needs to be blocked.

Next week is my move. I am not sure when I will post next. Soon enough I hope.
