halfway done, more or less
Nope, not the Dale sweater. I wish! I haven't worked up the courage to start the pattern yet.
But I've passed the halfway mark on the first sleeve of the crazy continental. I should be doing the raglan decreases later today. There have been a couple of spots where my tension went bad, but usually only for about ten stitches at a time and I've been able to pull those stitches tighter and spread out the extra yarn through the rest of the row to even it out. I really think the long, straight sleeves are going to look great!
And I'm almost halfway done with an entirely different project, my one hundred things about me page. It's wicked hard to come up with 100 little tidbits, especially ones that I haven't already written about somewhere else on my webpages. It's fun though. Enjoy!

the crazy continental
When you wash the pieces ,whilst still damp ,but not wet [ i.e. before blocking ] yank your knitting about a bit. Pull it lengthwise ,then side to side. This will help even out the stitches.
As the great E.Z. said '' time is great evener'' !
Thanks Emma, I will give it a try. It's nice to hear that I still have a shot at even stitches, even if I can't knit 'em that way!
