Backwards universe: Knitting Olympics progress

Knitting Olympics

I only have a couple of minutes right now so I’m slapping up photos. Will come back and edit if I can—work is a little crazy today—otherwise I’ll post more tomorrow.

I made another accidental hole. Both times I ended up with one stitch too many at the end of a row. The Reader’s Digest book says a yarn-over increase will create a hole; maybe that’s what I’m doing by accident.

New weirdness: When I picked it up the next day and started working on it again, the front inexplicably became the back and vice versa. There’s a freaky-looking dent at the point where I entered a parallel universe and back became front and front back. I do not know what I did, but I’m persevering anyway. Ever since that point, it’s been coming along more or less smoothly apart from an occasional misplaced knit or purl.

Hey it’s lookin’ preetty good! I betcha you could go in and do some creative weaving to fill those holes in later.

I’m knitting something right now too. Can’t blog about it bc it’s for hubby and he has the addy to my blog. I’ve got a hole or two too, and some twisted stuff and some purls where knits sould be (or vice versa) I’m hoping it won’t be too noticable in the end, because no way in hell am I frogging all this work to try to fix it. The thing is 200 sts wide and about 4″ long so far. It’s a full day’s work (that being yesterday morning till now, 3pm today) But only 92 inches to go rofl. It’s hubby’s boat blanket. He joked about me knitting him a blanket, and since the width didn’t fit the tunisian hook I’d ordered, I decided to surprise him and do it. I’d like to finish it before he gets home on the 24th… but there is no way that’ll happen. As it is I think I won’t have enough yarn lol.
