Knirvana

Putting "k's" in front of "n" words is really dorky. What can I say.

Anyway, I am in knitting nirvana because I've got a fun sock and a fun sweater going simultaneously.

I'm doing a knit-in hem on the sock. The yarn is very denim-y. I'm going to make a very smooth and non-fussy sock - besides the knit-in hem, I'll do an afterthought heel.

I made good progress on the first EC sleeve last night during the NBC Miniseries "10.5" which was so bad, it was good. The low point (or highlight, depending on your point of view) was the slo-mo sequence of people running in panic with Mozart's "Ave Verum Corpus" as the background music.

I'm using the lifted increases on the sleeve edges, which is keeping the stockinette from rolling so much. I learned that technique from the TKGA master knitting program, which I seem to have pretty much abandoned. I'm ambivalent about renewing efforts in that area, which is a shame since I did learn some new techniques as a result of my work so far.

I would like to learn new techniques from the TKGA Masters Knitters Program without having to actually DO the program. I'm *so* done with school. Are you enjoying the Peace Fleece? I am, despite all the kvetching to the contrary. :)
