Some knitting, and some, well, probably mostly knitting

Still really like this pattern, as it’s simple, but more fun than 2×2 rib. I really don’t like 2×2 rib for more than a couple of rounds at the time. Casting on 44 stitches instead of 48 proved to be smart, as these fit better, and I also lengthened the heel a bit. I didn’t think about the fact that they would end up shorter if I knit the same number of pattern repeats (18) with a longer heel than last time, but it ended up okay, they fit well both in length and width. They look ridiculously small for a 38-ish foot, but hey, it works.

Haven’t been knitting a lot lately, as I’m a bit busy with school, but I’m working on a pair of fingerless gloves. I made a few modifications on the fingerless gloves, but forgot to write them down, so I’m not sure I’ll ever knit the second one :D I guess we’ll see if I’ll bother counting stitches and rounds. I’ve never understood the point of fingerless gloves, but I figured I’d try one more pair before I gave up.

Oh, and this weekend I’ve taken a little bit of a break from school-stuff and have been watching a lot of Sports Night (only have one episode left, which is sad), and I’ve started a Noro striped scarf. So simple, but a lot of fun to knit. And for some reason, 1×1 ribbing is so much better than 2×2. It makes no sense, but there it is. I’m a bit annoyed that the two blues in the two skeins crashed, so there’s a bit of a blue blob there, but I don’t think I’ll ever finish if I frog now. I’ll learn to live with it, I hope I’ve just been staring at it for too long. Oh, and Sports Night is definitely recommended.
