Aug. 10th, 2012 03:52 pmAt some point one has to surrender to the inevitable -- which is to say that this incarnation of the Oncoming Storm mitts is as finished as it is going to be.
(I solved the width issue by picking up stitches along the length of the bobble section -- which worked -- and doing a rev-st-st with short rows -- which mostly worked -- and then sewing up -- which so very did not, ahaha -- and doing a surface crochet line up the seam -- which worked sort of. But that doesn't take care of the black bits, or the stockinette section between the arm and the thumb, and I am just kind of arghwtf.)
Am a bit more zen about it than I was last night; I needed a practice run anyway. And I do feel that I achieved /something/ with this, even if my pride and common sense won't let me post it to the ravellenic finish lines. (Even the colorwork one, despite not having any problems with the colorwork parts.)
Notes for next time:
* do the in-the-round version, to eliminate seams
* cast on 40 sts
* one gussety panel of 10, decreasing p2tog under each bobble or p3tog over alternate
* crochet hook bobbles ftw
* (catch float on the k stitches)
* colorwork section 3+4+[2+4+]3 across with rows 3+(2)+2+(2)+3 -- and this probably doesn't make sense outside my head but it doesn't need to
* thumb as sc rather than knit
