It occurs to me that it's been a while since I started my Clint and I have not updated at all. This project is much more complicated than the shrug I just started, so I don't tend to pick it up unless I am craving focused knitting time. I have found a rhythm with it recently after it sat for a little bit while I worked on easier things.
It's looking pretty good so far. I've made my peace with the fudging required to get the corners "close enough" to having pointy points (some slip stitches in the patterns make this less than automatic), and I'm ignoring the one intersection where I must have added a stitch or something because the alignment isn't particularly close. All that to say it's not joyful knitting right now, but it is pretty fun. I do find humor in the fact that I am knitting a quilt - that was in fact part of what drew me to this piece. I have just a few more additions to this middle panel, which will be two or three more good chunks of time I think, and then I believe things will simplify and start progressing at a speedier clip. My goal is to have this for a cozy fall. Around here there's no pressure on that until like November because we get some pretty hot weather in September and October (NOT at all great for this girl who loves cold crisp autumnal weather). So there's time.
