It has been a shitty week here at Casa del Random. Just one of those weeks where one thing after another goes wrong, and there’s nothing you can do about it, and nothing you can do to stop it. If I had the time, I’d find a deep dark hole and crawl into it. Nothing very exciting or interesting, just a bunch of things that on their own wouldn’t be too bad – just all happening at once.
\nOf course, this has resulted in almost no knitting worth speaking of.
\nHere are the sleeves for Rogue.

\nI guess it looks like they’re coming along quite quickly – but it feels like they’re inching off the needles. My row gauge is off, so even though I’ve done the correct number of rows the pattern calls for before starting the armhole shaping, they’re way too short, so I’ll keep knitting for a bit longer.
\nDon’t you love that cable?
\nIn other knitting news, here’s something I prepared earlier.

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nI actually finished this over a month ago, but it slipped under the radar.
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Fensterbild 57<\/a> by Herbert Neibling from Anna Magazine<\/a>, Spring 2009. (I bought a digital copy from the website)
\nYarn: DMC Cebelia Cotton size 30, purchased at Spotlight (less than one ball)
\nNeedles: 1.75mm steel DPNS. I think I need to get a teeny circ before I do another of these. It got a bit crowded on my DPNS.
\nMods: None. I’m happy with it, although I got two knots in the yarn, both in the crochet loop bind off. That kinda ticked me off, although I’ve hidden them pretty well. It didn’t block very well to start with. It wouldn’t sit flat, no matter how hard I blocked it, and it sprung back within a few days of blocking it.
\nSo I got this brilliant idea to starch it. Yay me! I went down to the supermarket and hunted down some old fashioned powder starch.
\nThe stuff works like a dream. It’s blocked and sitting perfectly. It’s also almost as stiff as a dinner plate. I’ve entered it into the Easter Show, where the rules say that entries shouldn’t be washed. It doesn’t actually say that they can’t be starched, though!
\nWe’ll soon find out how that goes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
