New user icon, for use when I am talking about knitting. ;)

Which leads me to another question - does anyone want me to make a knitting-only filter? I sincerely doubt that knitting talk BOTHERS anyone so much that I'd have to make one, but hey, figured I'd check. No need to tell me, "I want to be on it!" unless you see a comment that says to make one, though. ;)

Intended on working on the gloves during lunch today, but instead spent the whole time untangling my yarn. I don't know why I have such problems pulling it from the ball...

Kewel icon!

I got some more knitting done today. Progress slowed down, though, when I knit a row I should have purled. Un-knitting rows always takes so much more time than knitting them does.

Thanks! I got it from someone on knitting (and yes, I did ask. Heh!)

I got reeeeallly good at un-knitting and un-purling when making the cabled scarf. Blegh.

Yeah, learning to cable is next on the list, when I finish this sweater.

ooh, what's the pattern for your sweater? stockinette or ribbed?

[oakleaf-mirror.livejournal.com]

It's mostly in stockinette, but the cuffs and collar are ribbed. There's a bit of pain, in that it's multi-coloured:

Oh that's complex and cute! I haven't tried anything multicolored yet..!

Thanks! This was my first attempt at multicoloured knitting. Overall, I'm not sure I think it's worth the hassle. Hopefully, I'll finish the sweater before my niece outgrows it.
