Clipped Wings

June 13th, 2011

(note: You are looking at a side-seam, steeked at the bottom to allow the border to split at the side. The number of stitches used in the steek is fewer than the number of stitches required after the steek is finished, to accomodate a border. Thus: bump. Looks like a nose to me.)

I’m technically very very behind in my knitting for Nerd Wars. I wanted to knit 7 rows a day to get the body done in the month of June, which was ambitious to begin with. This picture is a few days old; I’m currently on row 56, and I should be on 91. Eep. One of the problems is now that I’m on the tail of the phoenix (like I said; pic is a few days old) it’s strictly an at-home knitting project. It’s just about glued to my armchair, with my computer close at hand for the digital color chart I made… actually, there. I took another picture.

So there you can see my chart a little bit. I love my EZ Bob bobbins from Bryson Distributing. They’re awesome (link: Planet Purl product review). Really, though, I need more. They snap together! I have a ridiculous love for storage tools that snap together. As for the actual knitting… Let’s just say I’m watching (err… listening to) a lot of Netflix, yeah?
