The Knitting Robot Strikes Again
It’s really unfair of me to make fun of the Snook for playing his videogame all weekend. The truth is, I spent just as much time sitting on the couch beavering away on my knitting projects. I made a start on the Space Invaders socks I’m knitting for the Colony of Gamers Child’s Play Drive, and I added several inches to the aran jumper I’m knitting for next year’s Easter Show.

I’ve modifed the bmp socks from the originals a little bit. I’m using Easy Care 5ply instead of a traditional sock wool, and I’ve gone up to a 3mm needle. I know from experience that I tend to knit fairisle fairly tight though, so I’m hoping they’ll still fit without much adjustment. As for the aran, it’s my first official Starmore: Na Craga. I’m knitting the front and back at the same time on a long circular, but the pieces are still separate. (Consensus is that the seams will give it some needed stability.) The cable patterns are very simple once you get going and I don’t even need to refer to the charts anymore.

While I was knitting, I also managed to watch all of Seinfeld Season 6 on DVD…
