My last class is this week and I'm almost done with my homework. I never thought that I would actually enjoy having homework, but tell me that I have to knit two cuffs (or anything for that matter) by next class, and I'll be on it!
I started cuff #2 last night after winding up the lovely ball of my handspun yesterday. It's looking good! I wasn't knitting as tight as I did the first one, so I had to start adjusting my tension a wee bit so that it will somewhat match. Usually I don't have an issue with my tension, but seeing that I wasn't the happiest person due to the talking back/argumentative teenager in my house, I was off and frustrated and managed to take it out on cuff #1.
According to the pattern that I'm loosely following, the cuff should be a minimum of three inches... I like them longer since my coat has larger sleeves that allow the cold air to flow right up my arm. I purposely made some fancy wrist warmers (initially they were ankle warmers) that tucked up into the sleeves and flared out over my hands to keep the wind from flowing in. They've been wonderful. I'm hoping I'll be able to wear the fingerless mitts without these wrist warmers, hence the extra inch.
So, I have probably an inch and a half done on cuff #2, with two and a half inches left...
Do you think I'll have it finished tonight?
