So, the latest started knitting project, which I’ve been wanting to start working on, but hadn’t until this weekend, but now that the mittens are done and the socks are past the gussets I feel OK about:
It’s pretty much flying along. After two days (and about 20 rounds, not really to brag about) it’s more than 1/3 done. At least, it had better be, because the yarn is more than 1/3 gone. As I neared the end of the first ball of yarn (I wound the skein into two balls) I measured it, 16 feet, then two rounds of knitting, then a little over one foot of yarn left — so, close to 8 feet per round, one foot of yarn to ten stitches. This is extra-bulky yarn, very easy to knit with because it’s not at all splitty, contrasted with the gray alpaca-merino that the mistake rib scarf is. It feels as though it’s going to be warm, too.
