And In Other News
Dragonskin appears to be officially tabled for the next little while; I've got one sleeve cap and a sleeve to go (I think I'm going to have enough yarn, which is nice), and then I have to seam it together to try it on. We shall see. I think that even if it fits I'm still going to get red yarn and make another; the blue's lovely but it's not what I envisioned when I was designing the thing, and since I'm not going to have this done in time for this summer anyway there's no reason not to take the time. Anyway it's going to Pennsic with me and I'll finish the knitting there.
I'm very pleased that the slits on the sleeves are working out like I wanted them to, at least, though there was a slight issue with needle sizes at the beginning there. This is because, much as I love them (and I really do love them), the KnitPicks needles are not marked for size and I just eyed them instead of feeling, so my circs ended up not being the same size as the dpns I started with. This is not a killer problem, fortunately.
In the meantime I'm almost done with the Pinwheel Sweater. The crochet border took for-frigging-ever, because I'm just not very good at crochet (nor am I hankering to get better). It looks nice now that it's done, though, and the borders on the sleeves will go much faster, being roughly 1/6 as many stitches.
