Working on projects

Update on two projects: The black silk wrap and the purple wool serape thing (I forget the name of the garment).
Photos are primarily of the black silk.



I'm 4 skeins into the black silk, with 6 more to go. Whew.
It's knitting with better "milage" to the skein than I thought it would.
On the first skein I got 7", but I'm not even half-way into the 4th and I've got a 26" length. Yes, of course, I should account for the cast-on, but I used a simple lace cast on, so that was minimum usage of yarn. I don't know. Maybe I just had an underweight skein for the first one.


The Purple wrap is now on the penultimate side.







Only one photo for this.

I did attempt taking the cable pattern and running it diagonally across the corner of the left front, but it looks odd (it's that funny puckering). If I had been feeling particularly energetic at the time I discovered the lack of continuous travelling, I'd have ripped it and re-worked it, but I re-thought about what I was doing and I've ended up looking on it as a "living" example of how to really look at the way cables are worked into a garment. *shrug* It's only going to be worn indoors anyway, so I'm not quite that concerned.

So. The other projects are on hold. I want to get both these finished as soon as possible and I'm in the mood to do so.
I'm off to knit.
Later.
