Finally got some knitting done. Yay! I cast on for the front of the crazy continental at Stitch 'n Bitch on Tuesday and managed yesterday to knit a few centimeters up to the beginning of the decreases for the waist. My tension is definitely improving and the motion of using my left hand is feeling a lot more natural. Finally! And last night I started the fair-isle pattern on the second sleeve of the Dale sweater. I think I'm doing a better job with the floats this time. They started out too loose at first, but I carried on and concentrated a bit more on getting the right length and weaving in the longer floats (the yellow especially) and it looks pretty good so far, I think.

Finally got my copy of the new Vogue Knitting (my fave pattern). Could someone tell me why I bothered subscribing? Maybe it was cheaper, I've forgotten. It certainly wasn't earlier. I've been hearing about it and seeing it about for a while now and no sign of it on my doorstep until yesterday. Sucks to be a Vogue subscriber with no patience. But it rocks being a Rowan subscriber! I subscribed online at the beginning of the week and had the latest magazine, newsletter, and the free purse kit delivered to my door yesterday afternoon. Not bad! I also subscribed recently to Interweave Knits and ordered some back issues. I've heard good things about their latest issue and so am looking forward to getting a big 'mag bag' from them soon. Finally, enough new magazines to oh and ah over until new ones come out!
