So yeah, color work that gets tangled annoys me like nobody's business. But I'm liking the design and where it's going. Fingerless gloves, they'll be seamed later. Thought it'd be easier to work on straights with a color-block method rather than in the round. Plus, more freedom when picking up stitches for the thumb.
The TARDIS is sleeping, these gloves are giving me enough of a headache with the color blocks as it is.
Jen's Baby Blanket is moving very slowly, mainly because whenever I try and knit it, my brain tries to do more work on a simple blanket than it needs to, and ends up putting in extra YO's and then I have to knit back 108 sts to fix it. Thrilling.
I really want to start on a pair of socks, now that I have an extremely spiffy Julip Sock Bag to put it in. Now to find a pattern, already got some yarn....
Looking to start Heere Be Dragone (A.K.A. Aestheticus.) again soon, but midterms and everything else will give me a headache for the next two weeks. So that's not going to happen terribly soon.
KNO at Have You Any Wool was wonderful tonight! Got to see Sonya and the gang from Tues @ the 'Bou. Also meet up with Carin, Burtonworshiper on LJ. She wanted to learn to knit, so we sat in the Coffee Beanery before the meeting and she was working on a *perfect* 3x3 rib scarf by the time we left HYAW four hours later. I've seen newbies work for weeks and still not have remotely even gauge. And she just didn't have even gauge, she had perfect gauge after four rows, better than most knitters. Sonya had her pegged, she's a prodigy. She'll have made socks for all of her friends by the next Knitters Night Out.

It was great to see you out at KNO! Your friend really did pick it up quickly. Love the arm warmers from your previous post. They are one of my favorite things to make. Fun and functional.
