I have been making steady progress on my blanket project. This is about a month's worth of progress, and I have just two. more stripes left! It has been great knitting for staff meetings and breaks at work when I don't have much brain power to devote to something but I still want to knit. This is where I am after this evening's knit night at the LYS.
The yarn has been really nice to work with. It's just cotton, but it seems a bit softer and more slippy on the needles than other cottons which makes the knitting really easy on my hands. I'm still not a fan of ribbing, and this is a LOT of ribbing in the bigger rings, but I'm finding it a good opportunity to try out some different ways to knit rather than the lever style I usually use. I'm not a great continental knitter because I feel my tension is way looser and it's all messy but it is ok to do for a bit. I have actually have more luck with Norwegian purling than I do continental purling, so I've been playing with that, too. I don't think I will ever be an ambi-knitter, but it's fun to try.
