More progress
Since I last posted I have officially slacked off on the baby dress and worked on Sahara. I’m really enjoying how quickly it is going so far. I made the first join which connects the 2 front panels to the back under the armholes.
This picture is from right before I did that. Now I work down a bit more and start the waist shaping. I am wondering whether I should work down a tad farther than called for before starting the waist shaping to account for my bustiness? Not sure if that will help or look weird. I may just do a few extra rows - I doubt it will hurt anything. What I really need to figure out sometime is how to do short-rows for bust-shaping. If anyone has any tips, I’d love to hear them.
On Ravelry, there is a forum for grad students and a current thread talking about how finals affect your knitting. I posted that I get more reading done closer to finals because I knit while reading. How do I do it? Here’s my normal setup:
Cat next to me, computer ready for notes, book propped up, knitting on top. I’m under the black blanket. Works for me unless I am outlining or writing in which case the typing unfortunately takes precedence over the knitting. Sigh…
