Ravelympics Progress!

Progress seems to have slowed dramatically now that there are more than twice as many stitches on my needle. It would have been much easier if the other size cables for my Options needles had arrived on Saturday instead of today.

I'm almost at the end of the cross on the back, and it looks good! Changing the "frame" around it made all the difference.


The cables on the shoulders will have two of the strands of the cable continue onto the top of the sleeve, go into a small loop and connect with each other into one single strand. The two other strands from the shoulder cable will go down the front and back of the shoulder edge on each side.

When those strands get to the bottom of the shoulder opening, they will converge and be joined by two other strands and create a small cable where the side seams would usually be.

You may be able to see that in this very confusing photo. One strand comes from the left top corner and one from the right top corner of the photo. You can see the other, new strand that has been added. This will be much clearer in a day or so, and I promise another photo when it's actually apparent what's happening.

Tonight, a new episode of The Middleman will be on! I hope everybody had a chance to see Kevin Sorbo on the show last week. Check the schedule for ABC Family.

I hope you've been having a great Monday!

Don't forget Eureka tonight!
