Can't blog; knitting

Yesterday I didn't get around to blogging about the knitting and if I'm honest, I didn't do all that much in the way of knitting. I was 1/2-way through the garter stitch border when I went to sleep on Thursday, 1/2-way through the body cast-off when I went to work on Friday and when I went to sleep on Friday night I hadn't gone much farther than to join up the first sleeve and knit a couple of rows.

This morning, though, this morning I'm going GANGBUSTERS! I'm 11 repeats in (that's 10 repeats knit, because there was one already done before the sleeves got separated). The body was only 20 repeats long, so I think it's not crazy to think that I'll finish sleeve one today. Hooray!

There is this thing about knitting in the round: it's fast. It's not fast because of some sane or rational thing. It's fast because it's spiral and I usually stop at the end of a row. There is no end of a row on a spiral, so now I'll stop at the end of a repeat. But that means that the repeats are just flying by.

Presumably, I'll take some pictures some time. Later. Must do another repeat of the lace now.
