Very Fetching Indeed

Today I've spent a heap of time playing with my Ravelry stuff - updating stash details, projects, etc. As is always the case, once you get onto the site, the clock starts ticking at warp speed and before you know it the hours have slipped away. I did manage to (remarkably) work out how to add those nifty little progress bars of WIP to the blog. Not bad going since sadly I'm completely illiterate when it comes to geeky computer stuff. I spent forever on the forum of the we <3 Progress Bars! Rav group. OMG how clever are those people!!!!

Off the Needles: Fetching for Gerda

PATTERN: Fetching by Cheryl Niamath
SOURCE: Knitty - Summer 06
MATERIALS: Panda Magnum Soft 8ply
NEEDLES: 4mm dpns
SIZE: one fits all??
CAST ON: 9th April 2009
CAST OFF: 13th Aprl 2009
NOTES: Cast on 45 sts using the Long Tail method for elasticity. I added and extra Cable Round and 4x1 rib rows at the top and bottom to add extra length. I was pleased with the finished size because they were intended for maximum warmth. I added a row before cast off of k1, k2tog, k1, p1 to slightly draw in the edge.

Amazingly I realised this project was my first attempt at Cables and it was fun. I loved knitting this pair so much that I immediately cast on another - only to be sidetracked by something else. The 2nd pair are about 80% complete so I'm hoping that seeing their progress bar on my blog will spur me into action!!!
