Sleeves and other things
It’s been kind of slow progress on the gansey sleeve over the past two days. The joys of farm work and good weather.
I’ve made a bit of progress on the second of four pattern sections. Haven’t made it down to Woodland Woolworks yet and so I’m still knitting on two circulars, which I really dislike. I also discovered that one the two #5 circulars I have is a Crystal Palace bamboo circular and I’ve come to hate it. The join uses a brass piece that hangs on *every* stitch and it’s driving me crazy. I love Crystal Palace bamboo DPs, but I’ll never buy another of their circulars.

Jerry, Yes, got the page up and still working on the links etc. that stuff is a bugger. Thought I had it and then it didn’t work out. Anyway it will do for now. The frustration factor was about a 9 or 10 with the magic loop and a little difficult to get it started. The loops can get in the way and be a bugger. I’m going to experiment with it somemore to see where it takes me.

Ditto on those horrible CP circulars. I do like the 2 circs. method and on a recent flight thought I’d take bamboo circs to finish a sock. those joins drove me mad with frustration. I hoped it was because of the tininess of the needles, but evidently it’s a construction style. Like you, I’ll stick to their dp’s. BTW I have truly enjoyed watching the gansey grow.

Your Gansey is coming along beautifully! This is really the first sweater you are knitting for yourself?!
With an amused smile on my face I read through your 100 things, we are very much alike, except, perhaps, I never had a beard
