Busy, not always productive. I finished another chart repeat of Clessidra and the tenth leg decrease. Then I checked the pattern to make sure I did the next and last decrease correctly. Upon which I discovered that the next leg decrease took place on the sixth row, not the twelfth.
Coincidently, the last four leg decreases did the same thing. Except mine didn't.
The green marker shows the last point at which the pattern is correct. I posted my situation at the knitalong, and I am waiting to frog in case someone comes up with some amazing suggestion. From now on my knitting mantra is; check the pattern check the pattern check the pattern... Which is an improvement from this afternoon's mantra which was crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap!
In a desperate bid to save the day's productivity, I did manage to finish the knitting on Central Park. Pardon the terrible picture, I finished casting off after dark, and didn't want to wait for morning.
Now I seam in the sleeves and the sides and weave in more ends than there really ought to be considering the balls are 250m each and I spit spliced everything I could. Honestly.
I have decided that it would be awfully nice to wear a new sweater for Easter...

Man, all these knitty people tempting me to make a CPH.
I was wondering how the hoodie was progressing. It looks great. Sorry about the socks, I have got a book from the library on cables, lots of info for me to absorb. Can you do the cable without a cable needle on these socks?
The hoodie looks fantastic! I look forward to you wearing it when you come visit me on Saturday! Hopefully I'll have a finished OSW to show off too :)
y'know, this is perfect sweater weather (at least it is here, it might even be colder there.)
we could start a photoset of terrible pictures of red knit things taken after dark. i have a great pic to submit.
