Designing again!

So, pretty much I'm just going to talk about knitting today. I've started working on my Erebor Fingerless Gloves pattern to match my hat, and while it's been challenging, I've been enjoying it a lot. I had quite a bit done on one 'draft' when I realized that it would be a bit tight, and the charming side details of a 1x1 cable wasn't lining up where it was supposed to. So, frog it was! Now I have the cables in the right place, but I haven't started the 'exciting' main cable pattern.

I've blocked and finished my TARDIS shawlette; while it's smaller than I had wanted it to be (more of a scarf), I'm still pretty tickled with it, and not willing to pull it out and try again!

I made a bit more progress on my Celtic Knot stole, but I didn't finish the pattern repeat like I meant to in February. Oh well, Beth has stalled out on hers, so I don't feel too guilty!

I also knit on the back of the baby sweater that doesn't end--I learned the other day that a friend of mine had a baby last year, so I'm making something to sent in belated welcome of the adorable little girl. I just wish the sweater wasn't so boring! It will eventually have some cool finishing details, but I have to get the pieces done first.

I had a bad fall yesterday and sprained/strained my right foot, so I guess I'll have lots of almost guiltless knitting time this weekend! I feel so bad that I'm putting a strain on my weekend team by being somewhat useless, but I guess it can't be helped. Hopefully it will heal up soon. Until then, knitting it is!
