Goals

Ok, the sleeves didn't even come close to getting done. In fact, I think I had negative progress, in that I had to rip back one of the sleeves, because I had done something inexplicably stupid (I haven't worked out exactly what) to it. Because of the yarn, a wretched mohair blend that is typically hard to rip back, the mistake was irreparable, and the sleeve had to go.

I should probably point out that I like to knit both sleeves at once. It most importantly means that I can knit two sleeves of equal length, and so I can get the painful process of sleeve knitting over and done with. I thought this was always the way to go, until this project. Getting rid of tangles between the two balls of yarn is just that much harder because of the mohair, so it ends up impeding progress.

I'm now planning to have the sleeves done by the end of next week, which should hopefully be doable. Normally, such a goal wouldn't be a problem, however I'm in the throws of moving to our new house (the news came through late on Thursday), so I'm a little occupied with getting utilities disconnected and connected, getting quotes on getting carpets cleaned, and all the other joys that comes with moving from one rental to another. I'm hoping that this will be the last move before we buy a house.

As the new place is exponentially lighter and brighter than my current drab, light-deprived abode, I think I'll put off taking any more photos until the move is well and truly done. I'm hoping that the more favourable conditions at the new place will improve my photos somewhat. There is also the fact that I haven't really made enough progress to warrant taking a photo, but I'll just stick to my original reason.
