2 FOs

Well, let's see...really, this post is mostly about ripping.

I'm in the middle of the foot of a pair of socks and I realized I have to frog because the twist in the yarn changed and it looks hideous.

I finally picked up my Mystery Stole 3 and realized, after figuring out where I was and putting in another lifeline, that I need to frog back to my last lifeline. So instead of being at the beginning of clue 4 I will be back at the beginning of clue 3.

While looking for my camera I unearthed, again, the sweater I have to take apart so that I can finish putting it back together.

But my dear sweetheart spotted my camera and I have photos. I put them up on Flikr to show him how nifty Ravelry is. After showing him how easy it is to add a photo to a project, I discovered that at the moment there's a bug that's making it impossible to use stash yarns on a project. Even so, he did wander off a bit overwhelmed by the amount of programming that's gone on over there.

If his point of view seems odd, I might add that we'll be at YAPC this year.

But I do have two finished objects to show you. Let's see if I can figure out how to do the Flickr photo thing here.

Fingerless gloves in Schaefer Anne:



Socks in Regia Silk (I only made one sock blocker for photos):

Ravelry Commentary

Well, that was amazing. I posted my first project on Ravelry - probably my oldest UFO (UnFinished knitting Object) and discovered that I don't seem to have a picture of it here. How odd. I won't bother putting it here just yet - when Ravelry comes out of beta everybody will be able to visit, so I'll post to it then, so you can see it in all its unfinished glory.

I find Raverly incredibly easy to use. When I showed my sweetheart the user interface and said how easy it was to put a photo in and how I want to know what technology they're using, he said (approximately), "Looks like ajax. Think of the security implications." That's true - it's difficult to do well the kind of thing they're doing at Ravelry. I am really impressed at how user-friendly it is.
